choice of:
•Ceylon cinnamon: commonly referred to as “true cinnamon” - harvested from a small tree that is native to Sri Lanka, studies have shown ceylon cinnamon to be anti-diabetic by reducing blood sugar spikes, increasing insulin sensitivity & improving metabolic markers, several of cinnamon’s bioactive compounds appear to block a protein called tau from accumulating in the brain - tau buildup is a characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease, contains anti-microbial & anti-carcinogenic properties, manganese, calcium and fiber which may improve gut & bone health
-why use ceylon cinnamon over the more common and less expensive cassia cinnamon? (cassia is what you get when something is just labeled cinnamon) on average, cassia cinnamon powder has up to 250 times more coumarin compared to ceylon cinnamon powder - coumarin is toxic in large quantities & known to cause liver, lung and kidney damage
