Cinnamon effects
- correct answer * Decreases glucose by acting like insulin at the cellular level
* Decreases cholesterol

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)
- correct answer * Birth defect changing normal blood flow through heart
* 3-5 year survival for 70% of infants with Stage I repair
* after age 12 months long term survival 90%
,* Dx: echo * Tx: Surgery
