Like the latest love interest of Taylor Swift, who’s poised for superstardom, cinnamon is the standout spice of the fall. Rising above nutmeg, cloves and ginger in a pumpkin spice blend, it promises more than just great flavor and an irresistible aroma. Research is showing that it can be good for your health, too.
Zumpano noted, “If you’d like to use cinnamon as a supplement in capsule form, speak to your health care provider or a registered dietitian to help you find a dose that is right for you. Be cautious with cinnamon supplements, and be sure they are third-party tested.” She suggested reviewing brand data on independent, third-party testing sites like, a registered dietitian nutritionist, adds cinnamon to coffee, desserts and soup.
“It adds warm flavor to savory recipes, too, so try pairing it with spices like cloves, cardamom and nutmeg. Cinnamon also pairs well with different ingredients like apples, apricots, blueberries, pears, bananas, almonds and chicken.”As great as all this sounds, too much of a good thing, even with cinnamon, can be a bad idea. “Cinnamon could potentially be toxic in high amounts, for example, if you took as much as three teaspoons daily,” Dansinger said.
