Abstract -- Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum, and Cinnamon cassia), the eternal tree of tropical medicine, belongs to the Lauraceae family. Cinnamon is one of the most important spices used daily by people all over the world. Cinnamon primarily contains vital oils and other derivatives, such as cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, and cinnamate. In addition to being an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, anticancer, lipid-lowering, and cardiovascular-disease-lowering compound, cinnamon has also been reported to have activities against neurological disorders, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. This review illustrates the pharmacological prospective of cinnamon and its use in daily life.

I have a vial of cinnamon toothpicks in my man bag. I’ve been addicted to them since childhood.

I've never heard of anything like that. But when was a kid 75 years ago we had all kinds of chewing gum flavors that never got past the old days -- teaberry, wintergreen, Black Jack licorice-flavored, Beechnut. but best of all to me was the cinnamon-flavor tangy Dentyne.n We still have the Juicy-Fruit (that was intoduced after the War?), and of cous Wrigley's Spearmint.

And also we had the little heart-shated cinnamon candies that my Mom flavored her app;e and cherry pies with, Days long gone by, but not yet forgotten.

Thank you for another of your detailed lists, this time on cinnamon. A friend recently asked me about getting cinnamon that did not have lead contamination. She said something about lead in South American cinnamon, which I had never heard of before. Also as others pointed out here, Ceylon cinnamon is the one with the blood sugar benefits, which is also cassia, the science name.

As to cooking, in addition to the cake, cookie, and pudding uses, I often put just a dash in stews and tomatoe sauces, and sometimes a smaller dash of clove powder. Try that for something else that tastes good.
