However, some people may experience gastrointestinal upset, such as bloating or gas. If you experience these symptoms, it&#8217;s best to discontinue your use of the spices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be noted that not all cinnamon is the same, and the form you use may make a difference in terms of its health benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cassia cinnamon, which is also known as Chinese cinnamon, is the most common type of cinnamon that is sold in the United States.

It&#8217;s lighter in color and has a milder, sweeter flavor than cassia cinnamon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ceylon cinnamon contains far lower levels of coumarin, which makes it a safer choice if you&#8217;re looking to get the health benefits of cinnamon (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8610277\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/cumin-vs-coriander\/\">Cumin vs Coriander<\/a> blog post offers a more interesting take on the benefits and side effects of herbs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to build an attention-grabbing bubble butt, blast away fat that\u2019s stored in all the wrong places, spring-clean your diet, turn back the clock on your skin, skyrocket your self-confidence and shatter your insecurities?
