Who Should Not Eat Cinnamon

The article discusses the health implications of consuming cinnamon, specifically highlighting two types: Ceylon cinnamon and Cassia cinnamon. It explains that while cinnamon is commonly used in cooking, certain varieties contain high levels of coumarin, which can be harmful in large doses. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) sets daily intake limits for coumarin, and excessive consumption of Cassia cinnamon can easily exceed these limits. The article warns people with liver issues, those taking medications affecting the liver, and individuals with diabetes about potential risks associated with cinnamon use. While some studies suggest cinnamon may help regulate blood sugar, experts caution against relying on it as a substitute for medical treatment.
