Does that mean sawdust isn’t unhealthy to eat?
And toxic in large amounts!

Oh I’m old enough to remember the cinnamon challenge… it definitely has a bite

Also, explosive if blown into an aerosolized powder

Many many things will explode in an aerosolized powder. Even a box of cornflakes.

I imagine things that aren’t explosive in that form are probably not good for your lungs (I’m imagining asbestos) 😅

If sawdust made my yeasted enriched dough taste awesome I’d be putting it on there too.

Pay attention to how often you see “cellulose” as a listed ingredient. That’s also usually processed wood pulp.
That cheap powdery parmesan often found in pizza places? Also sawdust.
It gets extra funny when you see cellulose listed on something with artificial cinnamon flavoring.

It’s not sawdust. Some might be derived from wood but it’s just cellulose and does not contain lignin, which is what differentiates wood from other plant matter. Chemically, it’s basically the same as any other plant starch.

If your pizza places have sawdust in their parmesan, change nation.

Fire Nation does not use sawdust in their parmesan!

Sawdust has a lot more in it than just cellulose. The meme is a joke, but it’s closer to reality than calling cellulose powder derived from wood pulp “sawdust”.

Tastes ood atop of arabica bean soup and foamed lactase.

foamed lactase.
Isn’t that the thing that digests milk, but not milk? You can buy little lactase pills at the pharmacy.

I’d say it’s more of a tea than a soup. Unless you leave the grinds in.

Maybe i should stop freestyling how much cinnamon i throw into shit. I really cinnamon’d up the plantains i made today

It wasn’t until recently that I learned how bad cinnamon was for you. Saw that the max you should consume per day is 1-2 teaspoons. Not tablespoons. I was eating a whole thing of cinnamon powder a week just cuz I like it. I’ve stopped doing that.

This is cassia bark (what most sell as cinnamon) but not Ceylon (has 250x less) so if you have “true” cinnamon then you’re fine

Interestingly licorice is the same; the American variant is higher in (glycrizza?) and that can have health side effects, the European variant has far less and thus has less of an impact on your health.
How did I discover this? I was literally on meds that were having zero effect, and then it occurs to me to go online and read up on the side effects of the licorice tea I was drinking every day only to discover the exact kind of meds I was on (muscle relaxants I think) were being counteracted by the tea.

I just googled it and discovered that cinnamon is flammable, lol
Makes sense I guess

This is why the cinnamon challenge is so difficult.
