Adding cinnamon to your coffee will speed up your metabolism

Good news! I have only recently discovered that cinnamon has a number of beneficial medical properties almost like a superfood. For decades, I did not like cinnamon too much, because it is usually overused e.g. during Christmas season and it is often mixed with too much sugar.

Spoiler alert: The Jerusalem Post has apparently resorted to/reheated/regurgitated research that was published in 2017!

"The researchers exposed samples of human fat cells to a substance called cinnamaldehyde, the substance that gives cinnamon its unique taste and smell, and saw that the cells began to produce more genes and enzymes that caused them to burn fat instead of storing it."
