It's because people throw around the term “insulin sensitivity” without really knowing what it is or what compounds actually do.
That's true.. but I also tried to look up authentic studies. The fenugreek thing was definitely studied in this extent. But cinnamon and turmeric.. nada.This thread did indeed clear up my confusions (thanks ibobland08).
Now I found the studies.. hahaha.. Here's an interesting study I JUST came across involving turmeric:http://www.nutritionj.com/content/9/1/43http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20937162 (same study different website)Says that turmeric or (C. longa) "increased postprandial serum insulin concentration without affecting plasma glucose in healthy subjects"cinnamon has a reversed role of what we want:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2901047/Says that :"Components of cinnamon make insulin more efficient." Which is not what we want on carb nite.. but what we want following the carb nite.But here's the best article that I found concerning both.. and others that I haven't looked into:http://suppversity.blogspot.com/2013/09/cinnamon-curcumin-tumeric-licorice.htmlSO! Turmeric does have the same properties as Fenugreek.. it worsens insulin sensitivity. Cinnamon improves insulin sensitivity.
