Baked Cinnamon Sugar Bites

We all know (or most of us know) that Cinnamon has some great health benefits.
Being a "Cyster" (pre-diabetic), cinnamon is, in fact, a great ingredient to add to our diet as it reduces glucose levels.
Other benefits?

• It has been medically observed that cinnamon has been found useful since it provides relief for women experiencing menstrual cramps and other feminine discomforts.
• In a way, it is used as a natural birth control since it delays the menstruation of women after the delivery of the child when cinnamon is regularly consumed.  Hence, avoids the conception of another child.
• It helps in the discharge of breast milk.
