Did you know that excessive amounts of licorice can cause serious metabolic disorders? | |
Eating too much licorice can cause problems from sodium & water retention to high blood pressure to hypokalemia. | |
How, you might ask? | |
Licorice prevents the body from converting cortisol into cortisone, a natural hormone in the body. In other words, licorice interferes with natural cortisone the body manufactures. Licorice blocks this pathway causing a lack of cortisone & a buildup of cortisol. This can produce serious deficiencies in your body's electrolyte balance. | |
The Good News: | |
This problem need not be permanent. Just stop eating so much licorice. Your body can resume normal function & these problems should disappear in a week. | |
Glad I don't like licorice. This is what I take to help my sweet tooth cravings: | |
