Cassia vs. Ceylon cinnamon:
Cassia cinnamon (more commonly found in stores) contains higher levels of coumarin, a compound that can be toxic in large amounts. If you’re using cinnamon regularly for health reasons, Ceylon cinnamon is a safer choice as it contains less coumarin.
Use in moderation:
Cinnamon is generally safe, but excessive amounts (especially of Cassia cinnamon) should be avoided, particularly for those with liver issues or children.
