As you are aware, aspirin is a gastrointestinal irritant. Cinnamon, like aspirin, irritates the lining of the gastrointestinal tract ... from your mouth to your anus, but the effect is mediated by how long the cinnamon remians in contact with the tissues and the secretory activity of the tissues.

Oh well...I guess I strike out on both counts. I don't take excessive aspirin, but I do when I have aches and pains.

It works well for me, where acetaminophen and others do zilch.

I've never had any noticeable stomach problems since I had my gall bladder out 27 years ago at the age of 27 :-).

I suppose I'll just keep on keepin' on since it seems to be working.
