The guy has a phd, biochemstry maybe, is a researcher. Since '80
government and academic folk can patent discoveries found while doing
research, before then anything found could be taken for commercial use.
when research results were published. He has a patent on a substance
found in cinamon his research suggests aids in bg control. While he
doesn't do human based research his methods are standard science done in
cells and animals. A great many, maybe most, of medical research is done
by phds who arne't medical dr.s, who also patent their discoveries
routinely. A person who did a post docterate with him from pakistan did a
human based research project and the results were published in an american
peer reviewed diabetes journal widely used by medical folk as a standard
clinical source. Ted's periotic hissy fits to spin down the use of
cinnamon are now standard noise in the system. He presents nothing to the
contrary in terms of research, hand waving and foot stomping a plenty
however. If he has a valid scientific problem with the research he should
present it, otherwise his type of opinions are found any night at the
corner bar by the dozen.

There is a guy in the Department of Agriculture's food MATKEYING program
at Beltsville who got a bright idea. He an a bunch of friends PATENTed
the idea, and he has spent the last twelve years using his position with
the Department of Agriculture totry to promote Cinnimun for dabetes.

His lab, despite the name, has no ability to do any research into
medical items (that is the FDA, not the DOA)

He gets a flurry of publicity periodicly, and uses unpublishable studies
done in fourth rate Indian and Pakanistani facilities to promote his ides.

I put cinnimon in things, but because I LIKE the stuff, it does NOTHING
for my BG.
