Guest guest Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Unfortunately, I do know what you are referring to. I get an allergic reaction to the cinnamon on the shelves of our supermarkets. Another fact: it has been not acceptable for sale in Germany for awhile for health reasons.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 I am also HIGHLY sensitive to the so called " cinnamon " commonly sold here, but am okay with Ceylon REAL cinnamon, which is hard to find. Those sticks that you can find are usually coated with waxes and resins, and most cinnamon sold here is just powdered versions of those. True cinnamon sticks should be irregular in shape, curly, and not at all resembling what is commonly found. It took me years to realize that " cinnamon " was the cause of my life long migraines! > > > ** > > > > > > > > > > I didn't realize until my Son in law recently told me that he bought > > cinnamon from Ceylon because the kind we call cinnamon in the US is not > > true cinnamon but has a blood thinner in it that is related to coumadin or > > warfarin which is used in rat poisoning.
