General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.
Liquorice occurs in sweets, but also in drinks and herbal teas.
Its constituent glycyrrhizin can raise blood pressure and lower blood potassium.
Counting sweets alone therefore misses other products that may contribute to intake.
Read ingredient lists and statements indicating liquorice content.
Do not treat a number of sweets as a safety threshold: concentrations and individual sensitivity vary.
To prepare a discussion with a professional, note products, amounts and frequency; bring the packaging.
