ANECDOTAL evidence?
At a recent event, Pharmacy
Daily was told by a few sources
that cinnamon is a haven of
health benefits with one person
sprinkling it on cereal daily, saying
they hadn’t had a cold all winter.
While this might have more
to do with the prevalence of flu
vaccinations these days, there are
a few studies around suggesting
the spice can be good for you -
one showed it may reduce risk
factors associated with type 2
diabetes (CLICK HERE), one, that
a derived substance activated an
antioxidant response in cultured
human colon cells (CLICK HERE)
and one showed that a substance
in the cinnamon plant could
be used as a prophylactic for
Alzheimer’s disease in mice (CLICK

excuses we’ve heard for eating
donuts in a while.
FIVE healthy, hearty lies.
Pharmacists in Quebec may be
faced with a couple of disgruntled
customers trying to return baby
purchases, after an entire town
was tricked into believing one of
the residents was pregnant with
quintuplets.
The woman, unnamed for
privacy reasons as she underwent
psychiatric assessment, told her
boyfriend ‘Paul’ she was pregnant
a month after meeting, CTV News
reported.
The truth was only begotten
once a blood test was performed
at 34 weeks, with Paul saying the
woman had displayed various
pregnancy symptoms, Canoe
News reported.
Paul wrote that the town, which
had rallied to provide assistance
to the couple, would have gifts
returned to them, the station
reported.
One for the gamers.

Mexio landfill to find a cache of
