I love cinnamon; especially the freshly grated, extra zingy, tongue tingling kind. I crave the stuff. I recently found out why. Scientific research, another one of my favorite things, indicates all kinds of good things about this bark.

The newest research I came across indicates that, supposedly, sniffing cinnamon can improve brain function and memory. I think this refers to smelling, not snorting. At least I hope so, because if not, this could lead to a whole new American Cinnamon Huffing Epidemic. If this were to happen, as least there’d be a handy acronym for it; ACHE.

Initially, I thought, perhaps, the time had come for me to begin developing a cinnamon-scented cologne. However, there’s a good chance there’d be a lot more women walking into doors, falling off curbs, and being just way too perky for anyone’s good. The “lick� factor might be a problem, too. I’d hate to see a rise in the stranger-licking criminal conduct rate. There’s already too much of that going on in the world.

Maybe all we really need is a highly-caffeinated, teeth-whitening, memory-improving, checkbook-balancing, age-slowing, weight-loss gum that contains cinnamon, honey, orange essence, and green tea.

I’ll get right to work on that and let you know when I’ve made my first million.
