by

a team of surgeons, for example, found that a solution made with cinnamon

oil killed a number of common and hospital-acquired infections, like

streptococcus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or

MRSA<http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/mrsa-infection/overview.htm\

The study found it was just as effective as several antiseptics widely used

in

hospitals<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/health/diseasesconditionsandhealtht\

.. Another study by French

researchers<http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/121385599/abstract>

in

2008 had similar results, showing that at concentrations of 10 percent or

less, cinnamon oil was effective against Staphylococcus, E. coli and several

antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. "
