Cinnamon does lower your blood glucose so why may it be bad. Dr Geger says it contains a toxin called cumin that is bad for your liver. So watch your cinnamon on cereals. If you consume cinnamon ypou should watch this video. We eat a lot of cinnamon including not only in and on cereals but donuts, nuts, breads, cinnamon rolls, etc.

Your article is misleading. What Dr. Geger should be saying is that Cassia Cinnamon contains coumain (not cumin which is a spice), but true cinnamon (Ceylon Cinnamon) does not.
Scientifically speaking, there is only one true cinnamon, which is most commonly called “Ceylon cinnamon,” and comes from the plant Cinnamomum zeylanicum.
What true cinnamon and cassia do not have in common is their coumarin content. Coumarins are naturally occurring plant components that can have strong anticoagulant properties. Because our blood needs to maintain its ability to coagulate in times of injury, excessive intake of coumarins over a prolonged period of time can pose health risks.
