|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cinnamon Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | National dietary guidelines from several countries (eg, the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia) recommend the consumption of spices to lower sodium intake.The National Institutes of Health (NIH)–funded Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) healthy eating plan replaces salt with spices and herbs as a means to lower blood pressure without medication. | 3 | Diacova Tatiana (2026) | Spices Beyond Antioxidants: From the Gut to the Brain |
| Cinnamon Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | It was also demonstrated that salt intake was associated with regional metabolic activity in the insula and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) areas of the brain.The administration of capsaicin (chili pepper) in the Li et al. | 3 | Diacova Tatiana (2026) | Spices Beyond Antioxidants: From the Gut to the Brain |
| Cinnamon Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | (2013) To investigate whether spice (poly)phenols reduce GI and systemic formation of cytotoxic lipid peroxidation products and increase NO formation, thereby leading to improved endothelial vascular function n  = 11 men with type 2 diabetes RCT 2 test meals, 1 wk apart  Zhang et al. | 3 | Diacova Tatiana (2026) | Spices Beyond Antioxidants: From the Gut to the Brain |
| Cinnamon Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Herbs and spices have been used in various countries around the world for centuries. | 3 | Diacova Tatiana (2026) | Spices Beyond Antioxidants: From the Gut to the Brain |
| Cinnamon Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Accumulating evidence suggests that spices and herbs (S&H) may have cardiovascular benefits. | 3 | Kris-Etherton Penny M (2026) | Cardiometabolic and Microbiome Effects of Spices and Herbs |
| Cinnamon Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | A substantial body of evidence from clinical trials suggests that large supplemental doses of individual S&H may improve lipids and lipoproteins, glycemic control, blood pressure, adiposity, inflammation, and oxidative stress.To expand the clinical evidence base, we conducted several randomized controlled studies examining the effect of blends of S&H on risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases. | 3 | Kris-Etherton Penny M (2026) | Cardiometabolic and Microbiome Effects of Spices and Herbs |
| Cinnamon Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | We confirmed that high doses (≥14 g) were well tolerated and that insulin, triglycerides (TG), and antioxidant activity were significantly improved.This was followed by further analyses to examine outcomes beyond traditional postprandial measurements. | 3 | Kris-Etherton Penny M (2026) | Cardiometabolic and Microbiome Effects of Spices and Herbs |
| Cinnamon Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally and in the United States. | 3 | Kris-Etherton Penny M (2026) | Cardiometabolic and Microbiome Effects of Spices and Herbs |
