Ceylon also been shown to have a higher content of several important polyphenols, including myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol, all of which may contribute to its wealth of health-promoting properties. It’s virtually calorie-free but squeezes in a small amount of several important micronutrients, including fluoride and potassium.
