In one study , rats were fed a high-fat , high-fructose diet. Some were also given cinnamon.
The rats who received the cinnamon experienced less anxiety during a maze test, and they did not experience as great of an increase in Tau and amyloid precursor protein—two proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Other animal research has found that consuming cinnamon significantly increases levels of something called sodium benzoate in the brain.
This, in turn, increases levels of brain chemicals called neurotrophic factors , which stimulate the creation of new neurons and protect old ones—all of which may slow the progression of a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Cinnamon in moderation is great, but too much can harm your health in a number of ways. One of the main drawbacks is specifically related to Cassia cinnamon, which contains significant amounts of the compound coumarin about 5 mg in every teaspoon—which is the recommended daily limit of coumarin for a pound person. Coumarin can have negative effects on the liver and even increase your risk of cancer.
In animal studies, too much coumarin has been shown to increase the risk of cancerous tumors in the lungs , liver , and kidneys. Ceylon, or "true" cinnamon, contains only trace amounts of coumarin, making it safer to consume. While there's no established dose for cinnamon in the United States, 1 teaspoon per day of Cassia cinnamon for adults is typically considered safe per European guidelines—and possibly a bit more for Ceylon cinnamon.
That's more than enough to boost the flavor and nutrients of your morning oatmeal , latte , or smoothie. However, people on diabetes medications should be extra cautious. While some cinnamon is great for lowering elevated blood sugar back to healthy levels, too much can send people into hypoglycemia, a condition characterized by very low blood sugar and symptoms of dizziness, tiredness, and even fainting. People taking diabetes medication such as insulin are at increased risk of this if they consume too much cinnamon.
So, always consult with your doctor about what constitutes an appropriate amount of cinnamon to consume if you have diabetes. Some people also experience allergic reactions to cinnamon. These are triggered by a compound called cinnamaldehyde, which is abundant in both types of cinnamon. People with cinnamaldehyde allergies sometimes experience mouth sores , tongue or gum swelling , and burning and itching in the mouth.
If you're worried you might be allergic, you can ask your doctor for a skin patch test. To reap cinnamon's benefits, you should always mix it into food or beverages—never eat dry cinnamon by the spoonful remember that awful cinnamon challenge? Not only can it lead to choking, but the lungs aren't able to break down the fibers in cinnamon, which means it accumulates in the lungs and can eventually lead to aspiration pneumonia. Overall, cinnamon is a powerful, health-promoting ingredient that may help with everything from curbing sugar cravings to lowering your risk of Alzheimer's.
But you shouldn't take its perks as permission to dump it onto everything—a little of this spice up to 1 teaspoon per day, which is still kind of a lot for cinnamon goes a very long way in terms of boosting the flavor and health benefits of your food. Any more than that could have some negative effects. Want your passion for wellness to change the world? Become A Functional Nutrition Coach! Enroll today to join our upcoming live office hours.
