"Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin have now discovered that liquorice root also contains substances with an anti-diabetic effect. These amorfrutins not only reduce blood sugar, they are also anti-inflammatory and are very well tolerated. Thus, they may be suitable for use in the treatment of complex metabolic disorders."
Hmm... beware of the carbs in them there bootlaces methinks...

Is liquorice root the stuff like a twig that we used to buy as kids and you chewed it until it was like dried wool and made your teeth a funny colour?

Liquorice gives me the squirts - so does a lot of other anti-diabetes stuff...
