The cinnamon in this loaf is great for controlling blood sugar levels. Even if you’re not pre-diabetic, its great for trainees who follow a lower-carb lifestyle. The cinnamon helps attenuate (lower) blood sugar levels during a meal. So you won’t get a sugar spike when you eat; instead, you would get a slower release of the food into your bloodstream and therefore, stay full longer. It’s also a good spice to add for flavor.
