I do think you need to qualify your statements on cinnamon in each place you mention it. If you are stating that you should have 2 tsp per day you need to say each time that the ceylon kind is the safest one. I never knew about the difference with toxins and had the wrong kind for years. Who knows if it is that that made my liver get stressed. Also, when you state that exercise needs to be x amount per week you could qualify that with “depending on your health” as people with cortisol issues (so common in modern life) will find that they get sicker if they try and up their exercise to the levels you recommend. You do have a responsibility to give advice carefully. Chris Kresser is a great model for this.

A grateful thank you for all the information you post. I have been aware of eating healthy, etc for years. My doctors are surprised at how informed I am. You are updating me with your articles especially on the latest tests. I use cinnamon (Ceylon) daily.

This article says that cinnamon is 68% manganese; and the figures for the other minerals look suspect too.

In reply to Dr Prakash. Yes, I don't really like the term "bad cholesterol" in that the body is using LDL cholesterol to repair arterial damage. When I use the term "bad" in this context it's more to say when LDL is elevated it's a sign of potential "arterial inflammation" and having high LDL blood levels is not a good sign and people should take action to improve those numbers in most cases.

I just wanted to point out that cinnamon has a very high oxalate content. For people who have a problem with oxalates, e.g., kidney stones, interstitial cystitis etc. cinnamon is not such a good idea.

How do you feel about ingesting EO’s (doTerra, YL, etc.)?

Hello Dr Josh
I am your great admirer. I am a medical doctor with great faith in functional medicine and without fail i try to read your posts on FB and follow in my life, family and my patients. The article on cinnamon is awesome.
But, one thing I am not able to understand why you still expressed the term ” Bad Cholesterol” for LDL? In fact, cholesterol is our friend? And unfortunately this myth is very popular among-est conventional medical doctors? I am not expecting this term from learned doctors like you?
With regards,
Dr Prakash
