Conclusion

Honey and cinnamon are a flavorful combination with a multitude of health benefits, as we saw all along. But it’s also important to be vigilant when consuming them.

For starters, the cinnamon you find at your grocery store could be of two varieties, cassia and Ceylon. The former is what’s more widely available, but is also of lower quality. It contains high doses of coumarin, which can be harmful if consumed in large amounts. On the other hand, cassia also contains cinnamaldehyde, an oil that could be beneficial in the cure of several conditions.

You also have to be careful when purchasing honey, as most commercially available kinds are not pure. They are often mixed with high fructose corn syrup, which essentially renders any weight loss or blood sugar regulating properties useless. However, raw honey must not be given to infants under 12 months (it’s best to not give them any honey at all).

Having said all that, using the right honey and cinnamon can prove to be very beneficial to your health, so it’s definitely something you should not skip out on!
