doesn't mean it can't be used,but does have camphor which is not good in large quantities kinda like sanguinarine it's the only reason I'm aware of they don't use it as a commercial sweetener cause it's sweeter than stevia.

There were found many pharmacological active substances in liquorice:

Glabrol is a strong agonist on GABA-Benzodiazepine- receptors:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22543233

Isoliquiritigenin is also a strong agonist on GABA-Benzodiazepine- receptors and also an aide for cocaine addiction and a sirtuin activating compound and as such possibly enhances lifespan:

Glycyrrhetic- and glycyrrhizic acids (and Glycyrrhizin) inhibits viral growth, also from the HIV- virus:

Glycyrrhizin acts against the SARS- virus:

...and acts against drug-induced hepatitis:

I have grown liquorice for over 5 years and now I harvested the root in autumn to put it in alcohol:
