Hi Bron, interesting looks like you got that information from Web MD, please note that the this is for the licorice herb or herbal extract and not the candy (which often has no licorice extract in it) It is more likely you would need to eat a few pounds to get to the safe upper limit of 6g of licorice you mention. Information taken out of context is not good if the goal is to help us to eat a better diet.
