What is coumarin ?: (Text from wikipedia.com)
Coumarin is moderately toxic to the liver and kidneys.Although only somewhat dangerous to humans, coumarin is a potent rodenticide. Germany has established a "tolerable daily intake" (TDI) of 0.1 mg coumarin per kg body weight, but also advises, [if] this level is exceeded for a short time only, there is no threat to health. For example, a person weighing 60 kg (about 132 lbs) would have a TDI of approximately 6.0 mg of coumarin. Germany has warned against consuming high amounts of cassia bark, one of the four species of cinnamon, because of its coumarin content. According to the Germany, 1 kg of (cassia) cinnamon powder contains approximately 2.1 to 4.4 g of coumarin.Powdered Cassia Cinnamon weighs 0.56 g/cc; therefore, 1 kg of Cassia Cinnamon powder is equal to 362.29 teaspoons (1000 g divided by 0.56 g/cc multiplied by 0.20288 tsp/cc).This means 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder contains 5.8 to 12.1 mg of coumarin, which may be above the Tolerable Daily Intake for smaller individuals. However, it is important to note that the Germany has only cautions against high daily intakes of foods containing coumarin. Coumarin is often found in tobacco and artificial vanilla substitutes, despite having been banned as a food additive since the mid-20th century. Coumarin was banned as a food additive in the United States in 1954, largely because of hepatotoxicity results in rodents.OSHA considers it a lung-specific carcinogen, and "not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans".Coumarin was banned as an adulterant in cigarettes by tobacco companies in 1997.Coumarin is currently listed by FDA among "Substances Generally Prohibited From Direct Addition or Use as Human Food" but some natural additives containing coumarin are allowed "in alcoholic beverages only".

| 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful  Real organic cinnamon sticks, By catherine Salacuse "KT" (now...Aventura, FL, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Organic Real Ceylon (Sri Lanka) Cinnamon Sticks, 3 Inch (16 Oz), Freshly Packed (Misc.) After lots of research, for Ceylon cinnamon sticks, Indus organics was the supplier I was looking for.I had discovered previously, that real cinnamon was from Ceylon, the true and healthy quality is from India, but I was unable to find it anywhere else on the market. Wholefoods and many other health food stores did not even know the difference between CASSIA and CINNAMON from CEYLON. Cassia is the cinnamon from China, it is harder & darker brown color,(.5% of coumarin),when real cinnamon is more brittle and lighter brown, and from India(.004% of coumarin) beside is healthier. Cassia is mostly what is sold in the States, still called "cinnamon". Indus organics knew exactly what I was looking for, not only they sale quality products but they know what they are selling. I highly recommend this company. Catherine Salacuse 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful  really disappointed, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Organic Real Ceylon (Sri Lanka) Cinnamon Sticks, 3 Inch (16 Oz), Freshly Packed (Misc.) To be honest, I have never knowingly tried Ceylon cinnamon before, I'm just a regular user of cassia, so by reading about it, I was already expecting a milder, less aromatic, but less bitter, sweeter, and more healthful version of cinnamonum. Mostly, I was concerned about too much coumarin as I am a regular drinker of homemade chai. Also, I didn't like to have to use too much sweetener to counter the bitterness of the cinnamon and other spices I use. At about 3 times the cost of cassia sticks (about $42 for 1 lb, including shipping), I was hoping the tradeoff was not going to be too much of a sacrifice.Received the package 3 days after ordering. Came O.K. packed in the box of two plastic jars. Upon opening a jar, i noticed that it was not sealed. It had the typical paper type of seal with pull tabs under the lid, but it was not sealed to the jar -a bit concerning. So next I tried to smell. When I stuck my nose right into the jar, I could detect a mild aroma, much less...

I was pleased to find real organic cinnamon on Amazon. This shop delivered beautiful, well-packaged rolls of Ceylon. They sell what they say they sell.Why is this noteworthy? Because most of the stuff labeled "cinnamon" isn't. The stuff in the grocery store - even Whole Foods - is Cassia, which is botanically related to cinnamon, but simply isn't actually cinnamon. Why did it become OK for this imposter to be sold as cinnamon? I don't know, but it is just another case of the consumer being lied to in order to promote sales. It is worth noting that most Cassia comes from China, and has very different properties than cinnamon. Cassia has a flat, harsh, blunt flavor. Cinnamon is a delicate, complex, subtly sweet spice. Cassia contains hundreds of times more coumarin than cinnamon - which makes Cassia toxic in large does, and I believe harmful if eaten regularly. Cinnamon has extraordinary health benefits (documented in controlled studies). If you want real... Read more |
