    DO NOT ever ingest licorice when TTC. It is proven to cause developmental delays (possibly as bad as fetal alcohol syndrome) when used during pregnancy and we do not know how long the effects last after stopping it, or how long it stays in your system. Very risky business. Eating Lots of Black Licorice During Pregnancy Is As Bad As Binge Drinking, Researchers Say - Health

    Aside from that, since licorice is supposed to raise estrogen anyway, that is supposed to in theory sway blue.

    Oh wow! I do not think those girls know that or they probably wouldn't be doing it!

    I tell as many people as I can and have had it listed several places on the site for years, but yeah I hope anyone who was aware would not be doing it. Sometimes people get so desperate they will do anything for the sake of a sway.

    Yes a small amount here and there is fine, it's when you use it in medicinal amounts that it is an issue.
