Hey -- interesting info on licorice!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if black licorice is truer to licorice itself, while red licorice is mostly sugar. And it's interesting that in high, extremely high, doses of licorice, you increase your risk for hypertension -- its active component is so similar to cholesterol (save for that huge polar tail).
