Kanelbullens framtid är i fara i Danmark, Expressen 27 december 2013
Scandinavian food/cousine has used cinnamon at least since 1327 (bought to St Birgitta’s father’s funeral) How many cases of overdose are EU aware of since 1327 AD?
– Dette betyr slutten for kanelbolla slik vi kjenner den i dag, Dagbladet.no 2013/12/26
Well EU better reconsider. Known in Swedish food/cousine since 1327 and in Norway known since 1340! Please look at Brev 5 Mai 1340, Diplomatatrium Norwegicum bind 3 no 202 (page 178) Origin on parchment in Swedish Riksarkivet… So EU can’t say that cinnemon isn’t traditional in Scandinavia!
Keep your hands off traditional spices!

There are several benefits of cinnamon …
Excerpt from Örtguiden – ortguiden.se :
Cinnamon consists of the inner bark layer of a tree that is cultivated or growing wild in tropical parts of Asia such as India and Sri Lanka.
The bark contains many essential oils such as eugenol [*].
Cinnamon has a positive effect on blood circulation, digestive, respiratory and urinary tract.
Cinnamon is used grounded into tea or sprinkled over food and is good for indigestion, as it stimulates digestion and prevent nausea.
When cold and cough seems the expectorant.
Studies have shown that cinnamon may have a lowering effect on both blood sugar and blood fats. As little as one gram of cinnamon was shown to have effect.
… so it has not been used as only a plain spice.
Lethal dose (LD50) for coumarin is 293 mg/kg (oral)
[*] Note: Eugenol is used as local antiseptic and anaesthetic. It kills certain colon cancer lines. Used for several other useful processes.
