Wow Cinss I never heard that about licorice before! Where I used to live in the UK wasn't far from one of the main places where licorice is made. I've never eaten a lot myself by my step dad loves it! They eat quite a lot over here and mainly have it salted which I think is weird!!
Just been reading about it and it looks like generally it isn't a good thing to have a lot of as it can increase blood pressure and all sorts!
