                                While Ceylon cinnamon is considered "true" cinnamon and contains only trace amounts of coumarin, the more common Cassia cinnamon can contain high levels of this natural liver-toxic compound. This critical difference is the main reason to be cautious and understand why avoid cinnamon while breastfeeding, especially when considering supplements or large quantities.
