One way is to look for cinnamon extracts that have been evaluated in clinical studies – such as Cinnulin PF.

The first problem I have when reading that such and such is good for you is, how do you defin such and such? There's umpteen products on the market all calling themselves cinnamon, including lots of cinnamon sub-groups apparently each haviong different properties - how are we to distinguish which are genuine?

Most cinnamon available on the market today is cut from the out bark of the tree, and then colored to look like cinnamon. While this makes it look and taste like cinnamon, you're getting a lot less of the volatile oil content that is the good part of the cinnamon. Plus, the cinnamon is usually treated with ethylene oxide which can cause numerous health problems. Be sure to use cinnamon that is cut from the inner part of the tree, you'll get a higher volatile oil content and it doesn't have to be chemically treated or artificially colored. My favorite type is Red Ape Cinnamon because they do all of this stuff, plus they support the conservation of orangutans in Indonesia. Be careful what kind of cinnamon you use.
