Health and fertility benefits of Chunky Fresh Mango Cake Recipe

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup canola oil

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup chopped peeled mango
1/4 cup chopped pecans
