  1. Regarding Cinnamon; what is available in the US is Cassia AKA 'Chinese cinnamon' not true or 'Ceylon cinnamon'. The cassia contains higher amounts of coumarin which can damage the liver in high dosages. Even the pharmacists are ignorant of the fact that the supplements available in drugs stores are not true cinnamon.

    1. thrue cinnamon is the Mexican cinnamon, not the Asian. It is true that they Ceyland its the best specially for diabetes. but difficult to find or know which is which. Yes, coumarin can be toxic, (like turmeric if you eat too much) you should use only 1/4 tsp. to 1/2tsp. no more and better if you pass it thru a coffee filter or dissolved in lots of water/oil in cooking.

  2. Where can you get the true "Ceylon Cinnamon"?

  3. use cinnamon bark, then you know you are getting the real stuff……

    1. how do you know the difference? color? shape? or..?

  4. YOU FORGOT THYME. Thyme is antibacterial, anti fungal, anti inflammatory…. very good herb as good as oregano.

  5. Ceylon can be found in most natural health food stores and typically can be purchased in bulk as well.

      Ceylon can also be easily obtained in the Mexican foods isle of your local grocery – they are the #1 importer from Sri Lanka.

    Did you notice placed in the center of the photo of the spice rack is the bright yellow/orange color of Turmeric (curcumin)?
    "Turmeric (curcumin) may have the most health benefits of any (single) natural herb on the planet", according to decades of world-wide clinical studies. However, turmeric by itself has relatively poor bioavailability (absorption into the body) unless it has a catalyst, like piperine (the active compound found in black pepper), to "charge" and unleash turmeric's (curcumin's) multiple health benefits. Turmeric-Plus ™ is turmeric that is fortified with piperine (850 mg vegicaps) for superior bioavailability. Google: "turmeric, curcumin, piperine – health benefits" and learn about "India's 'super herb' for over 4,000 years".
