Ceylon Versus Cassia Cinnamon
Not all cinnamon is the same. The type matters for safety.
Two main types
Ceylon cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is sometimes called true cinnamon. Cassia is the common supermarket type.
Coumarin
Cassia contains more coumarin, which may cause or worsen liver problems in large amounts. Ceylon contains much less.
Blood sugar evidence
Trial results are conflicting, and a 2012 Cochrane review found insufficient evidence for diabetes, according to the NCCIH.
In GlycoZen
The seller names Ceylon cinnamon, with no amount published.
