Question Does cedar mulch kill plants and shrubs???

i have read so many things that say that cedar mulch slowly kills plants
and shrubs by leeching the nitrogen and nutrients out of the soil.
i was wondering what anyones opinion would be on this as i had thought
of using cedar mulch around my spireas, hostas and a lot of other things
that i am hopefully going to get planted this fall and now im am wondering
if i would be better off not adding it to the beds .
any input would be greatly appreciated. i dont want to make a huge
mistake .
thanks again, sockiescat.
