There are two main types of cinnamon: Ceylon cinnamon and cassia cinnamon (also known as Chinese cinnamon). In the United States, anything simply labeled "cinnamon" is probably cassia, since it's cheaper. This is unfortunate, because cassia contains a compound called coumarin, which may be toxic to the liver at high doses. Unless it's specifically labeled Ceylon cinnamon, a daily teaspoon would exceed the tolerable upper safety limit for adults. [2015] - Michael Greger

A REIT must distribute 90% of its profit to shareholders. Therefore, REITs are literally passing their rents to shareholders after keeping a small portion for management and maintenance fees (including interest!). The REIT yield has been outperforming bonds while underperforming stocks. In other words, REIT represents a higher risk than bonds but a lower risk than stocks. Equity REITs can be active in several markets: Apartments; Commercial centers; Healthcare centers; Office complexes. [2012] - Mike Heroux

Valium and benzodiazepine have been shown to suppress slow-wave sleep. This is an unfortunate outcome for someone wanting to feel better the next day. For sleep to have an impact in your life, it needs to include a robust amount of deep sleep and all of the restorative things that go along with it. Simply sedating someone doesn't produce this effect. Ambien (zolpidem), a drug introduced in 1993, seemed to feature only a sleep-promoting effect without all the dirtiness associated with benzodiazepine. Despite this new drug, people continued to have insomnia. [2017] - W. Chris Winter
