Ohio Northern University pharmacy faculty member Dr. Amy Stockert's cinnamon research is featured today in a story by Sandee LaMotte on CNN's website. Dr. Stockert is associate professor of biochemistry.
Stockert is quoted in the story, saying: "A lot of the studies have been in postmenopausal women and men of that age. Some have found positive effects; other studies have not."
