Mike Huckabee's "cure" for diabetes. SUGARY CINNAMON Rolls. Ahh, GOP "science". Gotta love it!

[hadit]

Some studies have shown cinnamon to have a positive effect on blood sugar levels. Waxing indignant because a public person has seen this effect in his own life is quite ignorant.

 

[HenryBHough]

But why be a liberal, anyone, if you cannot BE ignorant?

 

[chikenwing]

This is not a joke. Republicans most popular presidential candidate cured his diabetes eating lots of sugary cinnamon rolls.

This cures diabetes:

So where in this video does it say he ate lots and lot of cinnamon rolls?
It doesn't once again the shit stain that is R Dean tosses up another turd.
Ether dumb as a rock,pathologically sick,or just a simple minded ass hole hack,you decide!

Cinnamon Improves Glucose and Lipids of People With Type 2 Diabetes

According to the study published and posted on The American Diabetes Association.

It has long been known that Type 2 Diabetes is both preventable and reversible if the proper steps are taken. Cinnamon has helped me control my blood sugar. I had battled with hypoglycemia for years, nine years ago I started taking 2 teaspoons a day of cinnamon and I no longer have problems with hypoglycemia. For me it has been life changing. So don't knock what you haven't tried.

 

[Papageorgio]

Good diet reverses diabetes. Cinnamon does nothing.

Unless it's on sugary rolls. That's what they show as an "example".

They said an ingredient, I understand you are not intelligent to understand what an ingredient is and I also realize you very limited reading comprehension, that is why you are an ignorant partisan liar.

Since they showed the ENTIRE sugary cinnamon roll, how do you know the rest of the roll wasn't also a "key ingredient"? Perhaps the sugary roll activates the cinnamon????

I'm sorry, a complete fucking dumbshit like you wouldn't have the brains to figure out the a key ingredient doesn't mean the whole roll. Bitches like you just are around to stir up shit because you are partisan pussies. You swallow what ever your political party shoots down your mouth. And then vomit the shit back out, not knowing if it is intelligent or not. Salon and KOS are your cum gods, you drink it all down.

So I'm guessing you actually believe Cinnamon rolls cure diabetes.

What is sad is you don't have the conviction of your beliefs to tell the truth, you have to lie and distort the truth in order to make your pathetic side look good.

Like trials with any other supplement or herbal product, the primary question we must answer is “What exactly was studied?”. The cinnamon you have in your kitchen may be a single species of plant or a mix of different cultivars. Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamommum verum) is more commonly found in the West. Cassia cinnamon (Cinnamomum aromaticum) is the version of cinnamon that’s been studied in trials. The chemicalhydroxychalcone has been identified as a potential active ingredient, which is believed to modify the sensitivity of cells to insulin, enhancing their uptake. If that’s the true mechanism of action, then it would work in a manner similar to that of the drugs Avandia, Actos, and metformin (Glucophage). Given the active ingredient (or ingredients) have not yet been definitively isolated, the issue of studying cinnamon is problematic. There’s no way to assess the potency of any batch, which complicates any evaluation. And that may be a reason why the research with cinnamon is inconsistent and largely disappointing.

While the Khan study looked promising, supplementary studies have failed to consistently show beneficial effects. Vanschoonbeek gave 1.5g of cinnamon or placebo to postmenopausal women over 6 weeks. There was no effect reported on blood sugar or blood lipid levels. Baker’s 2008 meta-analysis identified 5 trials including the Khan and Vanschoonbeek studies and concluded the following:

In this meta-analysis of five randomized placebo-controlled trials, patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes receiving cinnamon did not demonstrate statistically or clinically significant changes in A1C, FBG, or lipid parameters in comparison with subjects receiving placebo.

In that analysis, the Khan study looks like an outlier. More studies have emerged since then: Crawford in 2009 found cinnamon 1g per day reduced A1C levels compared to placebo. Suppapitiporn found no effect on any measure with 1.5g per day. Akilen, in 2010, found an effect with 2g per day. Another meta-analysis, published in 2012 and included 6 studies, concluded the opposite of Baker, and made positive conclusions:

A total of 6 clinical trials met the strict inclusion criteria and considered a total of 435 patients; follow up between 40 days–4 months, doses ranging from 1 g to 6 g per day. Meta-analysis of RCTs showed a significant decrease in mean HbA1c [0.09%; 95% CI was 0.04–0.14] and mean FPG [0.84 mmol/l; 95% CI was 0.66–1.02].

But look closer. The results may be statistically significant, but they’re not that impressive compared to medication. Cinnamon lowered A1C by 0.09%, versus the usual 1% with medication. Give A1c reflects overall glucose trends, cinnamon doesn’t look that impressive. Even at the extreme of the confidence interval, cinnamon has, at best, 10% of the efficacy of drug treatments. At worst, it’s completely ineffective.

[The Professor]

This is not a joke. Republicans most popular presidential candidate cured his diabetes eating lots of sugary cinnamon rolls.

This cures diabetes:

You are a big dumb fuck, nothing in the video you posted says that eating lots of sugary cinnamon rolls cured his diabetes.

What a fucking stupid ignorant misinformation for a political partisan nut job.

Thanks for reminding me what a fucking bitch liar you are.

I am not sure the man lied. It could be he was just trying to be funny. It is also possible that he has problems with reading comprehension and merely misunderstood what was said. However, for the benefit of all those who made fun of Huckablee, including those who obviously didn't listen to the entire video, let me 'splain it to you.

Huckabee did not suggest that eating cinnamon rolls had any health benefit. In fact, he never said anything about cinnamon rolls. He simply endorsed a program that he said worked for him, curing his type 2 diabetes and allowing him to lose 110 pounds (not bad, right?). Then the spokesman for the program announced there was an ingredient in cinnamon rolls that would help in treating type 2 diabetes. It is common knowledge that one of the ingredients in cinnamon rolls is: cinnamon! Many people, including many physicians believe that cinnamon does indeed benefit those who have type 2 diabetes. Not everyone agrees however. There are over 3 million links dealing with this subject. I will present only three: the first one is from the Mayo Clinic, the second from WebMD and the third from the American Diabetes Association.

“A 2012 review of several recent studies concluded that the use of cinnamon had a potentially beneficial effect on glycemic control. One study published in 2009 found that a 500 mg capsule of cinnamon taken twice a day for 90 days improved hemoglobin A1C levels — a reflection of average blood sugar level for the past two to three months — in people with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (hemoglobin A1C levels greater than 7 percent).”

Diabetes treatment Can cinnamon lower blood sugar - Mayo Clinic

“Several small studies have linked cinnamon to better blood sugar levels. Some of this work shows it may curb blood sugar by lowering insulin resistance. In one study, volunteers ate from 1 to 6 grams of cinnamon for 40 days. (One gram of ground cinnamon is about half a teaspoon.) The researchers found that cinnamon cut cholesterol by about 18% and blood sugar levels by 24%. But in other studies, the spice did not lower blood sugar or cholesterol levels.”

“Who was studied?The study included 69 Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes and blood glucose levels above recommended targets, i.e. an A1C over 7 percent. This group included both men and women over the age o“How was the study done? Researchers split the participants into three groups: a low-dose group that took 120 milligrams of cinnamon a day before breakfast, a high-dose group that took 360 milligrams, and a group that took a placebo. All participants were also given a sulfonylurea (gliclazide), a common first-line treatment for type 2 diabetes. The study lasted three month

“What did the researchers find? Participants taking a high dose of cinnamon lowered their A1C from 8.9 percent to 8.0 percent, while those taking a low dose dropped from 8.9 to 8.2 percent. The placebo group's A1C was unchanged.

“What were the limitations of the study? The study may have been too small to assess the effects of cinnamon dose on blood glucose levels.

“What are the implications of the study? Cinnamon may be a promising supplement for people with type 2 diabetes. The researchers also say that it's possible that the source of the cinnamon and the means by which it's extracted from cinnamon bark could make a difference as far as its effects on blood glucose levels. This may be why cinnamon works in some studies but not others.”

Conclusion: Huckabee said nothing at all about cinnamon buns. A spokesman for a program Huckabee endorsed said only that there was an ingredient in cinnamon buns (namely, cinnamon) that was an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes. Many people including some physicians agree. The spokesmen was obviously trying to promote a supplement which included cinnamon. There are a number of such supplements on the market.

Unless it's on sugary rolls. That's what they show as an "example".

They said an ingredient, I understand you are not intelligent to understand what an ingredient is and I also realize you very limited reading comprehension, that is why you are an ignorant partisan liar.

Since they showed the ENTIRE sugary cinnamon roll, how do you know the rest of the roll wasn't also a "key ingredient"? Perhaps the sugary roll activates the cinnamon????

I'm sorry, a complete fucking dumbshit like you wouldn't have the brains to figure out the a key ingredient doesn't mean the whole roll. Bitches like you just are around to stir up shit because you are partisan pussies. You swallow what ever your political party shoots down your mouth. And then vomit the shit back out, not knowing if it is intelligent or not. Salon and KOS are your cum gods, you drink it all down.

Only a teabagger would so adamantly defend sugary cinnamon rolls, and call it a political statement. Are you coo coo for coco puffs as well?

Bullshit! I again another left wing liar. Show me where I defended cinnamon rolls. You nutters are desperate and this thread shows it. Fuck off!

More specifically, you are defending Huck for touting them as a cure for diabetes. That's funny too.

Dumb shit, you and rdean are both liars. I never defended Huck, I stated that Huck nor the cure were to eat cinnamon rolls . You are a dumb fuck like your bud rdean. Stupid is as stupid does and you two are the stupidest.

This is not a joke. Republicans most popular presidential candidate cured his diabetes eating lots of sugary cinnamon rolls.

This cures diabetes:

Actually, that's not what the the video said.

The video said that what the cinnamon rolls contained was a cure for diabetes.

Cinnamon rolls contain cinnamon, which lowers blood sugar. The ingredient in cinnamon rolls - cinnamon - does reduce blood sugar and diabetes.

However, including pictures of cinnamon rolls does imply to the viewer that one can reduce diabetes by eating cinnamon roles. It's dumb imagery.

But nowhere does it say that eating sugary cinnamon rolls is a cure for diabetes, as you claim.
