I would imagine, though, to get that kind of a dosage, we'd be talking about huge amounts of licorice- not a lozenge or hard candy, or even a bag of licorice sticks.

I remember reading that on several different pregnancy sites, as well as on an herbal page (when I was looking up safe ingredients to drink in tea during pregnancy).

You know, sometimes, you think it's just be easier to sit in a plastic bubble, and have an iv drip of the necessary nutrients for 9 months than to just think about all the potential no-nos lurking, everywhere- even the candy store.... ;-)
