Honey: The best way to incorporate honey into your diet is to use it as a sugar replacement. Be sure to buy unfiltered honey, as processed supermarket honey lacks health benefits. While honey is “less harmful” than regular sugar, it still contains sugar, so consume it in moderation.
Cinnamon: Cinnamon contains a compound called coumarin, which can be toxic in large quantities. Cassia cinnamon contains higher levels of coumarin than Ceylon cinnamon. It’s best to choose Ceylon cinnamon, but if you use Cassia cinnamon, limit your intake to 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 to 2 grams) daily. You can safely consume up to 1 teaspoon (about 5 grams) of Ceylon cinnamon per day.
