Licorice is also an anti-diuretic. It can
cause problems if taken in excess. In the '60's my wife, a med tech, had a
case of licorice poisoning in her hospital. Since it has effects on a
horse, it is banned. Since in excess it can harm people, prudence is
required in its consumption.
At the risk of sounding like a broken
record:
The AERC drug rule is clear, positive, and
unambigous. If you don't like it either:
1. Work to change it
or
2. Find another sport.

by the way, people often have blood levels of
asprin, ibuprophin, caffine, nicotine, theobromine and other drugs that would
not be allowed in their horses. Human drug practices have nothing to do
with what is allowed in horses during AERC events.
