Normally in Western (and some Far East) countries, when you have published a paper in a high-impact and reputable scientific journals like Nature, Science, Cell, Lancet, etc., you will only be featured in the news, but might not be on the first page all the time. Unless it is about a drug or vaccine for AIDS. However, in Bolehland, even when you have not published anything in a journal, you could still be shot to fame on the first page.
This finding is not novel. Just do the PubMed search 'cinnamon diabetes' and you will find the similar finding as early as 1998.
Now, did anyone tell you that the same cinnamon could stimulate adipocyte formation; in layman's term to help grow fat cells in your body making you a fatty boy/girl. Yes, that was the finding from the same group.
This is how our tax-payers' money going into the drain now...
