I enjoy black licorice? -

but have hypertension.its said black licorice is bad for hypertensives.if this is true ,are there any types made special for my condition i can eat

Yes that is correct. I have the opposite problem (hypotension) so I need lots of licorice. You want deglicerrized (sp?) licorice also known as DGL. Most candy licorice has wheat in it anyways and low Glycirrizic (sp?) acid content. That s the active compound which benefits hypotensives like me and harms hypertensives like you. good luck hope this helped! :+)
