Can i eat gummy bears while pregnant

Published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, the Finnish study found that a large consumption of black licorice and its natural sweetener, glycyrrhizin, can have negative long-term effects on the development of the fetus.

Researchers found that kids who were exposed to large amounts of licorice in the womb performed worse—by approximately seven IQ points—in cognitive reasoning tests than those who were not. Thankfully, this finding is limited to black licorice. Red licorice uses different ingredients. A total of mg of glycyrrhizin corresponds on average to g of licorice.

Apart from lower IQ, the researchers found that the kids who were exposed to large amounts of licorice in the womb had lower memory capacity, and according the the parents, they also showed signs of ADHD. Plus, the girls were found to have started puberty earlier.
