Using Cinnamon In the Production of Nanoparticles

An anonymous reader writes "Scientists at the University of Missouri used cinnamon to replace almost all toxic chemicals needed for making gold nanoparticles used in electronics and healthcare products. Nanoparticle production requires the use of extremely dangerous and toxic chemicals. While the nanotechnology industry is expected to produce large quantities of useful nanoparticles in the near future, the entire production process could be detrimental to the environment."

Real Cinnamon is rare and expensive, toxic chemicals usually aren't. Which do you think China's going to decide to use?
