Cinnamon? (Help!)

[HarmsWayBC]

This is a stupid, but very serious question........can cinnamon bloat you or cause any water retention if you ingest large amounts of it?

I'm talking about ground cinnamon, NOT Cinnamon sugar.....

I don't think so, I know it acts as a thermgentic (sp?) and can raise body temp.

Cinnamon can help lower blood glucose levels, help w/digestion. I don't think either will cause you to hold water, unless you are allergic to cinnamon.

Some say cinnamom can help digestion or/and when you have a cold...

but it is certainly not cause any water retention.

BTW there is no reason to take excessive amount of it !
