What is the tastyrrrhizized licorice?

Licorice or Glycyrrhiza GLABRA have been used for centuries for the flavor and sweetness of the plant. In addition to the general name for licorice, glycyrrhiza, which is derived from the Greek word for the "sweet root", is part of liquorice, which makes the plant so sweet - 50 times more than conventional refined table sugar. Glycyrrhiza can be responsible for some of the side effects that liquorice consumption causes in human beings. People who use the tastyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) seem to not suffer the same side effects. Licoric users included Egyptian Pharaoh King Tutankhamen (1341 BC to c. 1323 BC), who had licorice stored in their tomb for use in his posthumous life. Other historical fans of licorice were Alexander the Great (356 to 323 BC), Julius Caesar (100 BC to 44 BC) and Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 to 1821). Traditional use of drugs involves treatment of digestive problems, coughing, urinary tract problems and sore throat. In addition, the licorice wasCE used to prolong life, cough treatment and for diabetes treatment. In addition, liquorice may have antiviral and antibacterial characteristics. Glycyrrhizin itself can be able to reduce inflammation.

Evidence that liquorice can treat viral infections, Addison's disease and HIV and that deglycyrrhizized liquorice can treat ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding or gastroesophageal reflux disease is contradictory or insufficient. Deglycyrrhizized liquorice may not have any real effect on digestion or heartburn. In addition, liquorice does not have to impact on asthma, shingles or menopause.

The effects of liquorice may include increased blood pressure and water retention and liquorice can affect serum testosterone levels.
