Player #5882051, Note that licorice candy is just that, candy. Trader Joe's has a great soft black licorice that I am addicted to. The medicinal and antioxidants stated here refers to the licorice plant.

I've heard that care needs to be taken if you have high blood pressure can't eat too much.

Licorice lovers beware. An article in the paper a couple of weeks ago told of a man who ate 2 bags non-stop and died of an overdose!

Player #15401962, I agree. It is a candy I can start eating and want more. We used to have a garden center that carried some of the best. They made a big deal about it being from Australia. I guess that must be a place that many consider having some of the best. It closed and I have found some at Target but it is better than most but not as good . We don’t have a Trader Joe’s in my area

My former mother in law used licorice as a laxative to keep her weight down. It also kept her potassium and heart rate down. She was treated in hospital and lived another 25 years.

Personally, I can't see how anyone could like licorice. It's bitter and nasty, like root beer.

Since I don't really know the difference, other than taste & color, between red & black licorice, do these benefits apply to both or just black licorice?
