Question/concern about cinnamon

My question/concern about cinnamon is how "specific" does it increase insulin sensitivity? In other words- does it increase insulin sensitivity in muscle AND fat equally or one more than the other?

While the human study from Pakistan showed that it has great benefits as far as lipid profile and fasting glucose, there was no mention about how skeletal muscle was affected.

There was one study that used rats where the insulin sensitivity was increased by 17% in their muscle... but again, it was rats (carryover to humans is not always 1:1- i.e. rats don't get lung cancer from cigarette smoke).

What are your thoughts?
 
Clarification

Sorry if I wasn't clear- my concern is if cinnamon would increase the fat cell's insulin sensitivity, which would then increase fat stores.
 
I think that might be a good point. I don't like assumptions but I will accept logical presumptions. When it comes to matters like this though, I guess I would prefer more "direct" evidence that only the muscle cells were affected. Personally, I am using cinnamon as well and will just try to keep a good eye on my body comp.

One more note on being cautious with cinnamon- it does contain coumarin (Warfarin) which is a potent anti-coagulant. The concern for bodybuilders is for those who mega-dose on fish oil capsules (myself).

I have nothing but the upmost respect for CT from T-Nation and have applied much of his teaching. With that said, after my research I think 1 Tblspn (15 grams) a few times a day might be a bit much for those mega-dosing with fish oil. 3grams a day actually showed to be just as good as 15 grams (though the 15 grams worked faster, 3 grams reached the same benefits a short time later).

Thibaudeau probably meant to say 2 teaspoons, as 2 tablespoons is just excessive.
 
all i know about cinnamon is it good for the digestion,and add it to my oats in the morning 2-3 teaspoons as my new trainer said to use
and also my girlfriend say it makes my cum taste like it too :):):)
so she can swallow :):):)
