These days, Turmeric seems to be the one receiving all the attention, but it's not the first kitchen spice that's turned out to have a wide range of other potential health benefits beyond being a mere flavouring or colouring agent: Cinnamon does, as well. Of course, it comes in two main forms, and this type, Ceylon (or True) Cinnamon, has a sweeter taste and much less of a compound called coumarin, which can be harmful to the liver in higher doses.

It also has anti-bacterial properties which can help oral health. It might even help stave off Alzheimer's disease! (by inhibiting the development of tau protein "tangles" inside neurons which impede synaptic communications).
