A member asked:
What is the maximum dosage of liquorice to diabetic patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Black licorice: Zero. It can lead to “abnormal heart rhythms, as well as high blood pressure, edema (swelling), lethargy, and congestive heart failure according to the FDA. Licorice root contains a drug: glycyrrhizin. Real black licorice, not the phony licorice-flavored stuff flavored with anise oil — causes a drop in potassium levels. It may also mimic the activity of the female sex hormones.
