Commercially produced cinnamon probably also has cinnamon essence added to enhance the smell. All that processing either reduces or destroys it's efficacy, just like the difference between boiling and steaming vegetables.If you live close to an Indian spice shop, get cinnamon sticks**, then use a grinder to make your own cinnamon powder. This way, there is no additional processing as is for commercial use. You'll be able to tell the difference just by the scent/smell of the two.** Sources of Cinnamon:<a href="http://geography-countries.factoidz.com/worlds-largest-producers-of-betel-nut-cinnamon-cocoa-pistachio-soybeans-vanilla-and-others-uses/" target="_blank">http://geography-countries.factoidz.com ... hers-uses/</a></blockquote>
