Baking Healthy Treats with Cinnamon May Reduce Alzheimer's Risk

    BOISE, ID, October 20, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Baking healthy treats with Honey Melt Organic is a delicious and easy way to add specialty foods to your daily diet that may help combat Alzheimer's disease. Recent studies suggest that properties of cinnamon and coconut oil can hinder the onset and progression of the disease. Honey Melt Organic's Perfect Blend of fruit- and plant-based oils features virgin coconut oil that is delicately sweetened with organic cinnamon and organic wildflower honey for a light, naturally sweet taste.

The results of a recent study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease (June, 2013) show that compounds found in cinnamon may delay the onset and/or slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Other studies have shown that ketone bodies created from medium-chain fatty acids in virgin coconut oil may provide the primary brain fuel in Alzheimer's affected patients. An additional study published by the JAD (July 2012) indicates that alpha lipoic acid (ALA) "can stabilize cognitive functions among Alzheimer's patients and may slow the progression of the disease."

"Honey Melt Organic is a slightly sweeter butter improvement that is extremely versatile - as a breakfast spread on toast or bagels, pancakes or waffles; as an ingredient in sweet or savory dishes; instead of butter or margarine in baking recipes; and as a creamy spread for dinner breads", says Melt CEO Meg Carlson. "It is so easy to incorporate Honey Melt into your daily diet."

Only Honey Melt is delicately sweetened with organic wildflower honey and a hint of cinnamon. Unlike other honey butters with 4 grams of sugar per serving, Honey Melt has just 1 gram of sugar, half the saturated fat and is dairy free. And, unlike other dairy-free sweet cinnamon butter alternatives (made with crushed soybeans), Honey Melt is completely soy free. Each serving is a rich source of the 'good fats' with an ideal balance of Omega-6 to Omega-3 ALA (that are optimally metabolized with virgin coconut oil), and has 425 mg of Omega-3 ALA (or 26% RDA) and Vitamin E (or 15% RDA).

Melt is now available in more than 4,500 stores in North America. Rich & Creamy Melt Organic and Honey Melt Organic are sold in 13-ounce packages, with 80 calories and 9g of fat per serving. MSRP is $4.99 for all varieties. Visit Melt Buttery Spread for tips and recipes for baking healthy treats with Honey Melt Organic.
