Thanks Laura, I know that kind of licorice very well and must have eaten tons of it, as in the US/Canada it's about one of the few types you can buy.
My, all the info is making my head spin. I did read that cortisol is needed for thyroid hormone in order to get into the cells. Cortisol was tested a few times, but that's such a small moment. Years ago I had it tested and levels were too high. This year as well and levels were normal.
But that licorice really stands out as it's about the only type of candy I used to be totally addicted to and had to remind myself of the licorice hangover I'd get from eating too much of it (that yucky salty taste and the salty urine). As well as that testosterone effect. Nonetheless I still adore it as a candy but can limit intake to about once a month or less.
