I devour like 1 whole cinnomon stick a day sometimes. I live eating them. Tonight my dad said I should probably find out if this is ok for me to do. So I thought I would ask you loverly people. Any ideas guys?

Hi, Sketch,
Actually, they've done a study (or two?) that shows that cinnamon may actually lower the blood sugar in a healthy way. But my concern is--splinters. I have a hard time even grinding cinnamon sticks for cooking! (And I use a mortar and pestle sometimes for cooking to make spice mixtures.) Also, once I had a package of cheap cinnamon sticks from Madagascar and found a tiny pebble rolled into the middle of one! So, you might want to wash yours before you suck on them. My concern is, like I say, splinters.
If you can get them soft enough to where you're able to chew them thoroughly, maybe that's fine. But otherwise, your methodology intrigues.
