Potential impact of cinnamon on Multiple Sclerosis studied
A neurological scientist at Rush University Medical Center has received a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to evaluate whether cinnamon, a common food spice and flavoring material, may stop the destructive process of multiple sclerosis (MS).
The two-year, $750,000 NIH grant will fund research that will analyze the effects of cinnamon on the disease process in mice.
"Since medieval times, physicians have used cinnamon to treat a variety of disorders including arthritis, coughing and sore throats," said Kalipada Pahan, PhD., who is the Floyd A. Davis professor of neurology at Rush and principal investigator of the study. "Our initial findings in mice indicate that cinnamon may also help those suffering from MS." ...

I'm not sure what to think of the sodium benzoate link that he proposes just yet. I will have to read the papers.

Yes, if you're going to consume these quantities, then Ceylon cinnamon is the way to go. Cassia cinnamon contains coumarin which can be hard on the liver, the recommended daily dosage is around 0.5-1.0 teaspoons (2.5-5.0 mL) per day. Ceylon cinnamon does not contain coumarin.Kate925 wrote:Thanks for posting. He recommends Ceylon cinnamon (cinnamonum verum) rather than cassia cinnamon.
I'm going to start supplementing with Ceylon cinnamon, 3 grams per day. It might not help, but I don't think it can hurt.
I also read through one of Kalipada Pahan's papers last night and skimmed through the other one. Neither are really about cinnamon. They explore the usage of sodium benzoate in treating EAE and also in in vitro cellular assays. The link to cinnamon is by inference only as the papers state that sodium benzoate is a metabolite of cinnamon.

Re: Potential impact of cinnamon on Multiple Sclerosis studi
I recently got interested in supplementing cinnamon to my diet.
I came across the article about the MS research grant, given to Rush University. Granted in 2011 for 2 years.
Does anyone have information about how things are going with their research? Has anything been published yet?
Thanks

So what ever happened with this idea?

Researchers are not positive what triggers the illness. The foremost common theories purpose to a virulent disease or congenital disease , or a mixture of each. Geographical studies indicate there is the association with environmental issues.
