Honey   and    Cinnamon

This combination has cured many ills including cancers.

Quite a big claim for 2 of mankind's oldest culinary companions?

Honey is the only food which doesn't go off. It will do what some call “turning to sugar”. In reality honey is always honey. This must be one of the clearest and most unambiguous common-sense indications that honey prolongs life. Which also means Honey must be good at preventing the decay and deterioration we know as “disease”. Nearly all commercially processed food needs preservatives just to achieve a brief shelf life for pragmatic retail profitability. Many preservatives used constitute a major health threat[5][6][7][8]. When left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what is better termed “crystallising”[9]. When this happens you can loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was.

Ceylon Cinnamon Versus Cassia Cinnamon use mouse to see difference

Cinnamon comes from 2 plants and they are not the same![10]. Cinnamon is probably the first spice used by man - historical records indicate it was in use over 50 centuries ago (3,000 BC). Ceylon cinnamon is known as the "true cinnamon" or the "real cinnamon" which possesses outstanding health benefits. This cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka and comes from the inner bark of Cinnamomum verum which used to be called Cinnamomum zeylanicum when Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon. What you will find in your supermarket is most likely not the real cinnamon but Cassia cinnamon ( aka Chinese cinnamon), which comes from a related BUT different plant Cinnamomum cassia which is mostly cultivated in China and Indonesia. While the two species of cinnamon share certain characteristics such as antimicrobial activity, in terms of inhibiting the growth of fungi and yeast, and regulating blood sugar, their contents differ much in terms of the amount of coumarin, which is a naturally ocurring substance with strong blood-thinning properties.

The coumarin level in Ceylon cinnamon is negligible, while that in Cassia cinnamon is 1200 times higher. The ingestion of large amount of coumarin or sustained consumption of coumarin can cause serious health damage.
