Be careful of the type of cinnamon you use.
 

I went to a cooking demo this morning and the chef mentioned that if you use regular grocery store cinnamon you are using the bad for you cinnamon. I came home and did some research. I remember my aunt saying never use the store cinnamon. I thought she was just picky. I tossed the cinnamon I had and bought the Ceylon. I can't believe the difference in just the smell. Amazing.

Found it at Whole Foods.

If you're near a Cinnambon, they sell a really good cinnamon. I believe it comes from Sumatra.

I am not about to toss the cinnamon in my cupboard. Of all the possible 'bad for you' products on the shelves of our grocery stores, I am not going to worry about the 1/2 cup of so a cinnamon I use in any one year.

I am not going to ask for a pedigree for the cinnamon sticks I use and reuse to flavour my tea.

I consider myself fortunate to buy cinnamon at all with the ridiculous rising costs of everything except wages! Maybe one day before I meet my maker. Lol

I use cinnamon a lot. About five or six McCormick glass jars a year, and with small kids here loving it too I want the type that is better for them. Really until I smelled the difference I would have never thought there was a difference. I made cinnamon toast this afternoon using the Ceylon cinnamon. My grand told me it was the best he ate in all day. Everything is all day to him. That's his time frame for forever. LOL

We use a lot of cinnamon. I get it at Penzeys and it's really good cinnamon

Bad for you how?
Is it full or chemicals? Is it made with old cinnamon sticks?

The bad for you types have something called coumarin in high enough levels to cause liver damage apparently
