A member asked:

Is it safe to consume 1-2 tsp of ceylon cinnamon per day long term?i've heard that regular cinnamon can be dangerous on liver, so just want to be safe

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What for?: What do you expect to gain my taking cinnamon? It is not doing you any good and you may safely stop doing that. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
