[quote:riverside 45969028:MV8xMzMxMTAwXzM5ODgwMDU2XzZDM0ZBREE5] According to another article, ""What is cinnamon? It's tree bark," said Tom Erd, co-owner of The Spice House in Evanston. "Ground cinnamon is sawdust. But there is good sawdust and bad sawdust."" I don't think spice companies buy ordinary sawdust, like from a pine tree, and then put cinnamon oil in it. Cinnamon is ground bark from the cinnamon tree. Maybe there's higher quality and lower quality, or more and less medicinal cinnamon, but it's not sawdust in the way that some posters here seem to think. It's the ground bark of the cinnamon tree.

Original Message
There have been a few discussions around in various threads about cinnamon. I just thought I'd post this, because I see a statement often... "I tried cinnamon" or "I use cinnamon" and it "did nothing for me."
A lot of ground cinnamon sold in stores isn't cinnamon at all. It's simply flavored sawdust.
So if you're looking to use "therapeutic" cinnamon, this is my [not intended to diagnose, cure, heal, yada yada] suggestion:
Get cinnamon sticks, and grind them up in a little mini coffee grinder or something.
Hope that helps clear up a little confusion for some folks.
