💨 Abstract

The article warns that high doses of common spices—such as cinnamon, turmeric, and ginger—may interfere with certain medications, potentially reducing their effectiveness or causing adverse reactions. Specifically, cinnamon could hasten drug metabolism, affecting various medications, while turmeric and ginger act as mild blood thinners, posing risks with anticoagulants and blood sugar medications. The research, from the University of Mississippi, highlights the need for caution, particularly for individuals with chronic conditions.
