Much ado about nothing

Not for Consumer Reports. This is their lifeblood.

same thing I was thinking

quote “It’s important to note that Consumer Reports also found that some products landed in a middle ground that didn’t make them unsafe to use”

safest based on what? basically they said anything but organic was unsafe. Total bs.

Exactly all this discussion of “parts per million” seems designed to obfuscate the threat level.

I suspect it’s another one of those cases where you would have to consume an entire container of cinnamon every day for years in order to be in any danger.

Go to Bass Pro Shop and pick up some split shot. It’s in their vitamin and mineral section.

“Lead can be present in the soil where cinnamon is grown, especially in countries with heavy industrial activity or where leaded gasoline and pesticides were once used,”

So.... everywhere on planet earth?

Whew! I lucked out again. I never eat more than 2 1/2 boxcar loads of cranberries in one sitting.

Unfortunately I do sprinkle it with 1/4 teaspoon of the worst cinnamon there is per boxcar load.

Both Costco and Walmart made the ‘safe’ list, so that’s good! Glad to see ‘your’ McCormick was A-OK, too.

If I don’t buy the Saigon (Vietnam) Cinnamon from The Spice House out of Milwaukee, I will buy the Kirkland Signature organic Saigon cinnamon at Costco.

If you’ve ever had the Saigon Cinnamon, you’ll never want another. It’s THAT good, IMHO. :)

The brand I happen to have isn’t even listed, so I don’t know what I’m supposed to think.

What if a person has a lead deficiency and they are being denied life sustaining minerals?

There are clearly many I would not want to be denied lead. The Clintons come to mind. Fauci. Etc.

I guess so, since I like cinnamon on foods like apple sauce and oatmeal. I should try it on toast and butter like TribalPrincess2U. I don’t shop at Costco, but I can make the trek to Whole Foods.

“okay to use,” provided consumption is kept at a minimum

Depends what the definition of minimum is.

I made a sweet potato bread this morning and sprinkled some cinnamon into the batter. Couldn't say how much since I don't measure anything and then there's the matter of how many slices in the loaf. The egg wasn't free range, the flour wasn't organic and I know for certain our well water isn't the best. Well, the slice I had was put on a plastic saucer and got sassy with it by spreading on some chemical ladened margarine that came in a plastic container. Yeah, those plastic nano particles in the toxic diet coke bottle I opened. Haven't had any cokes for months and this bottle was past the best use date so does that mean there is more plastic? Oh, just noticed I'm drinking it out of a plastic cup. And then there's the rice for dinner. Ack, good thing I rinsed it not the recommended 3 times but 4 times. It is said to have an unknown amount of arsenic in it which comes from the soil it was grown in. Hmm, root veg are likely to have arsenic in them so, of course, we also had carrots for dinner. Ack, for lunch it was bortsch aka beet soup with carrots and onions. Blah, you can rinse veggies all day and you're not going to get out even 10%. How much radiation or whatever is this 'puter sending out? Death or taxes. Think I'm going to have another slice of sweet potato bread and raise the 'ol blood sugar.

Ditto. Saigon cinnamon is the best, preferred by professional chefs and bakers. Highest quality.

When red dye #whatever was in the headlines back in the 70’s, our science teacher said you’d have to eat a train car full of red lipstick for it to have any affect. Guessing that’s the case here along with most everything that’s going to kill us. Well, Boar’s Head products may be an exception.

Who didn’t play with the mercury that came out of broken (accidentally or on purpose) thermometers.
