Research suggests cinnamon may have beneficial effects on blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation. Most studies have been small so the evidence is still building, but it's an interesting area worth paying attention to.

A 2026 study found that people with TMJ disorders showed significantly higher rates of depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors than those without — and it lines up with something we've been exploring for a while in our blog.
Chronic jaw pain isn't just a mechanical problem. The mind and body are deeply connected in how pain is experienced and perpetuated, and treating TMJ well means addressing both. The study was limited to university students so more research is needed, but the pattern is hard to ignore.
