Cinnamon Bark, The Difference Between Ceylon and Cassia Varieties

SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE!: bit.ly/2OsRhsi
Cinnamon is a spice derived from the inner bark of several species of cinnamon trees. The two most common varieties are Ceylon and cassia. While they offer different chemical constituents, both types are considered valuable herbal substances known for their unique flavors, warming qualities and uplifting fragrance.
The delicious taste of cinnamon has made it a popular culinary spice used among many cultures worldwide, however, it is also prized for its tonic-like effects and subtle yet powerful qualities as a natural energy, digestive aid and circulatory stimulant.

For spice/powder stick to Ceylon (better safe). But if taking in capsule format/require for effective blood glucose benefit Cinnulin PF (20:1) is better and safer than either Ceylon or Cassia powder . Cinnulin PF is Cassia Cinnamon but using a water-soluble extract method that significantly eliminates coumarin and other toxins that could cause side effects

Plus incorrectly saying that cinnamon is a herb when it is a spice and mispronouncing Ceylon. It is not CAYlon, but CEElon. Gave up watching such an inappropriate source of information. Incidentally, I just started to watch from boredom as I have been to Ceylon and Sri Lanka as it is now called, many times and just wanted to see what would be produced. Error on my part.

I heard that is why you should use ceylon over cassia. Cassia is the one to worry about for the liver. Ceylon supposedly does not have that issue. IMO ceylon tasts better anyway.

alot of bullshit and untruths in this video--probably paid to do so. Plus Ceylon Cinnamon is Endemic to Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and though both Ceylon and Cassia versions have their benefits, Ceylon is the better. for various reasons. As for taste, that is up to the individual. Ceylon Cinnamon is more expensive but if you spent a day with the cinnamon workers in Sri Lanka you will understand.

WARNING - Cheap Cassia cinnamon contains 1,000 times more coumarin, which with high consumption can cause liver damage, whereas the real Ceylon/Shi Lanka cinnamon has 1,000 times less coumarin. I just found out about the amazing benefits of cinnamon this week and threw out the cassia and will be consuming a lot of real cinnamon from Ceylon.

[@SinjaEs]

not true, big myth, the study was done with chemical coumarin on labour rats and has just nothing to do with the natural coumarin in cinnamon that is a major coumpound that has the most effect on lowering blood sugar! all studies have been done with cassia so all the health benefits are not similar to ceylon..it is also just cheaper because its more commonly used and mass produced and has nothing to do with the quality! ..cheers 👌👌

[@Turbo-D]

@@SinjaEs 100% true 🙏🙏..i use cassia since decades now and it works much better for me at least for anti inflammatory, blood sugar lowering and digestive improvements compared to ceylon. it also had never any negative effect on my liver values that is just a commercial myth created by some companies to just push ceylon sales. 🙄

[@generalutuber]

if one takes a cassia cinnamon stick, standard 3" stick and puts it in a pint of room temp water to soak for 24 hours and then drinks the cinnamon infused water, could this be done as a regular daily regime without damage to the liver?
