Could not locate any Easter Biscuits in the supermarkets, so decided to bake some myself, using the PROPER Oil Of Cassia and not Cinnamon or Mixed Spice.
Only trouble is both of us are experiencing stomach gripes.
Googling suggests that the Cassia family are related to Senna, a favourite ingredient of medicines.
Oil of Cassia isn?t something I?ve used in my cooking but a former colleague had a reaction to something cooked using it. He is diabetic it transpires Oil of Cassia interacts with some diabetes medication. I think something to do with insulin uptake or breakdown? He was quite ill.
That is all I can recall. I?ve no idea if he is type 1 or 2 etc. I suspect the latter but only because I?d known him some time before he seemed to need to watch is sugar intake etc.
Strange isn?t it. We think of natural foods being healthier etc - which of course they are in general- then along comes something like this.
