Cinnamon use has undoubtedly grown since the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic. Cinnamon is considered to have a variety of health advantages, ranging from improving immunity to providing natural sweetness to food. However, one TikToker alleges that her fixation with eating the spice caused her to suffer from unexpected health problems. Though it may seem strange that something from your kitchen might cause health problems, experts claim that using large amounts of cinnamon can put your health in jeopardy. Here's how to do it.
Consuming too much of cinnamon
In September, a TikTok user revealed that in 2015, she grew infatuated with cinnamon. She said she put a lot of spice in everything she ate, including oatmeal, rice, spaghetti, and even eggs. Her father had told her that she was consuming an excessive amount of spice.
She began to have health issues after a year, including light-headedness, dizziness, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). She began to sustain injuries as a result of her workouts. She didn't eat cinnamon any longer after that. Her father, who is a doctor, also warned her that taking large amounts of cinnamon can be hazardous. Her health problems vanished as soon as she eliminated cinnamon from her diet.
Is it really toxic ?
Cinnamon is well-known for its taste, scent, and a variety of health advantages. Cinnamon comes in a variety of forms, but the dried, ground bark of the cassia cinnamon tree is one of the most popular.
Coumarin, a chemical associated with liver damage, is found in high concentrations in several cinnamon products. For sensitive patients with liver illness, long-term usage of cassia cinnamon can be problematic. When used for an extended period of time, it can cause gastrointestinal problems and allergic reactions.
Cassia cinnamon has a limit of 0.1 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. Any more than this may result in liver damage. Though it's impossible for the ordinary individual to consume more than the recommended amount of cinnamon.
