They don't even tell which ones are Ceylon cinnamon, and which ones are Cassia.

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

[fwdude]

Which brands were the safest?

-365 Whole Food Market organic ground cinnamon (0.02 ppm)
-Loisa organic cinnamon (0.04 ppm)
-Morton & Bassett San Francisco 100% organic ground cinnamon (0.04 ppm)
-Sadaf cinnamon powder (0.04 ppm)
-365 Whole Foods Market ground cinnamon (0.12 ppm)
-Sadaf seven spice (0.15 ppm)

Sounds like Whole Paychecks has a robust bribery program going.

Fear porn since cinnamon has many health benefits.

We need you all sick, not healthy.

They don't even tell which ones are Ceylon cinnamon, and which ones are Cassia.

I noticed that too, Ceylon (or true) cinnamon is the one that helps regulate blood glucose. ~ (s) nully, diabetes diagnosed in 2005, A1c 5.8...

Can you eat any of them by the teaspoon?

[...elevated levels of lead.]

They got it confused with Cinnammunition.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

How many grams of cinnamon does the average person consume over, say, a year? Can’t be that much. At about 3.5 micrograms of lead per gram of the very worst cinnamon, I don’t see how anyone could ever notice any toxic effect that could be proven to result from cinnamon consumption and not from some other source of lead.

Just journalists trying to scare people.

I prefer Saigon cinammon.

The flavor difference from the usual stuff is amazing.

Lead snead - I used to chomp on toothpaste tubes when the casing was made of lead and I’m still not dead. Over blown alarms.

I’m reminded of the great cranberry scare from decades ago. It turned out that if you ate 3 boxcar loads that your chances of getting cancer would be increased. The scare was reported before Thanksgiving and the truth wasn’t revealed until way after New Years.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

“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?

[KittyKares]

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

Grind your own Cinnamon Bark!

[Aeneas2112]

Grind your own. You can get sticks from a reputable source and freshly ground is far, far, better as well as less expensive than all but the cheapest and oldest crap.

Any spice you can buy whole and grind as needed will always be far fresher tasting.

They don't even tell which ones are Ceylon cinnamon, and which ones are Cassia.

I bet they are all Cassia. Its the cheap, common alternative to real cinnamon.

They don't even tell which ones are Ceylon cinnamon, and which ones are Cassia.

That's what annoys me, too. I only use ceylon

[dkGba]

I wondered that as well.
