I picked up this retirement magazine in a restaurant and saw this product inside, coconut sugar. It looks interesting, if a bit expensive for sugar.
Go here for some interesting food facts from The Southern Lady. I didn't know or forgot most of them! For example, peanuts are legumes, not nuts. Corn always has an even number of rows on each cob. Apple seeds are poisonous.
I also learned from an article in the newspaper that coumarin in cinnamon causes liver damage in some people. So I guess everything in moderation.

Yes, it's always a question of how much yu take whether it does you good or not! Interesting post! Valerie
Yes, I saw those tidbits on the Southern Lady blog recently and emailed them to my relatives. Lol. Did not know that about cinnamon.
I love cinnamon on everything. Sorry liver!
The peanut-legume thing was one of the first things I ever learned that got me fascinated in fun facts.
I remember seeing almond butter (an alternative to peanut butter) and thinking they finally found a kind of nut to make into a "butter". Turns out almonds are a member of the prunus family; members include cherries, peaches, nectarines, plums, and apricots.
wow, I never knew apple seeds were poisonous, I eat them all the time!!! I also never heard of that sugar before,Christine I sent you an email, I never received the email you sent,
I adore cinnamon toast. But yes, everything in moderation is an excellent rule of thumb.
What??? Apple seeds are poisonous? Good grief! Thanks for letting us know.
I've never heard of coconut sugar before. I love cinnamon, I had no idea there was any potential hazard...
