Eating Licorice In Pregnancy May Affect A Child's IQ And Behavior -
Science Daily. 10/6/09 - "Expectant mothers who eat
excessive quantities of licorice during pregnancy could adversely affect
their child's intelligence and behavior ... They were also more likely to
have poor attention spans and show disruptive behavior such as ADHD
(attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) ... It is thought that a
component in licorice called glycyrrhizin may impair the placenta, allowing
stress hormones to cross from the mother to the baby"

Grapefruit juice and liquorice increase cortisol availability in patients
with Addison's disease - Eur J Endocrinol. 2011 Sep 6 -
"Compared to the ordinary treatment, the median AUC
for serum cortisol increased with liquorice (53783 vs. 50882, p<0.05) and
GFJ (60661 vs. 50882, p<0.05). Cortisol levels in serum were also elevated
2.6h after tablet ingestion (liquorice 223 vs. 186 nmol/L, p<0.05; GFJ 337
vs. 186 nmol/L, p<0.01). Liquorice increased the median urinary
cortisol/cortisone-ratio (0.43 vs 0.21, p<0.00001), whereas GFJ increased
the (aTHF+THF)/THE-ratio (0.55 vs 0.43, p<0.05)" - Note: From
my readings, most have too much cortisol already. I've read where
licorice increases it. Licorice and grapefruit juice sounds like an
unlikely combination but people might want to be aware of it.
