The objective of this study was to examine the effect of cinnamon on postprandial blood glucose, satiety and subsequent caloric intake in middle‐aged obese adults. Using a crossover design, subjects consumed 50 g available carbohydrate as a breakfast drink with or without 6 g ground cassia cinnamon. Blood glucose and satiety were evaluated at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. Ad libitum caloric intake was estimated from a meal served at 240 minutes. Twenty‐six adults (9 males and 17 females), aged 40–63 years, completed the study. Paired t‐test, with Bonferroni correction, assessed differences in blood glucose, satiety and caloric intake between the control and cinnamon conditions. There were no significant differences in blood glucose and satiety values at any time point between the two conditions ( p >;0.05). Subsequent caloric intake was similar in the two conditions ( p >;0.05). The lack of agreement with earlier research may be related to differences in study populations and/or study foods.
