芬蘭研究發現，孕婦吃甘草，胎兒長大成人以後容易罹患高血壓、糖尿病或是體重過重等疾病。


研究人員檢查了一群八歲兒童體內的可體松這種荷爾蒙。結果發現，媽媽懷孕的時候常吃甘草，生下來的孩子到八歲，體內的可體松就比沒吃過甘草的媽媽生下的孩子高了三成。可體松可以幫人對付壓力，但是也跟糖尿病、高血壓、肥胖等疾病有關。


甘草可以讓食物或是藥物變甜，很多喉糖裡面都有。研究人員建議，婦女懷孕的時候一定要注意不要攝取過量的甘草。他們說，只要一星期吃下零點五克的甘草就可能影響胎兒。

記得以前老師說任何一條藥方，是根據中醫的診斷，以「君臣佐使」的法則去用藥。 「使藥」的調和藥性則用上甘草。

這個研究結論不合理
想想看華人社會中（台灣 大陸）
只要孕婦有吃中藥，大部分都有甘草
難道有造成小孩得病？

那西藥未引入時，
清朝以前幾千年中國人
豈不是早就完蛋了

毒副作用
長期或大劑量服用甘草可引起「假性醛固酮增多症」、水腫、高血壓、心律失常、心肌損傷、肌肉無力。有臨床報導，口服複方甘草片導致過敏性休克、藥疹、低血鉀、過敏性喉頭水腫、成年男子陰莖縮小、陰毛脫落、睾丸萎縮至蠶豆大小、嬰兒急性呼吸衰竭、新生兒中毒[3]。這很可能是因為甘草本身含有一種異黃酮類的植物雌激素，會影響身體的內分泌系統，令精液內的睪丸酮水平下降[4]，不過具體影響身體的份量有多少並不清楚。然而，在傳統中醫藥裡，甘草亦有用於減低男性的性衝動。

摘錄
Side Effects and Cautions
In large amounts, licorice containing glycyrrhizin can cause high blood pressure, salt and water retention, and low potassium levels, which could lead to heart problems. DGL products are thought to cause fewer side effects.
The safety of using licorice as a supplement for more than 4 to 6 weeks has not been thoroughly studied.
Taking licorice together with diuretics (water pills), corticosteroids, or other medicines that reduce the body's potassium levels could cause dangerously low potassium levels.
People with heart disease or high blood pressure should be cautious about using licorice.
When taken in large amounts, licorice can affect the body's levels of a hormone called cortisol and related steroid drugs, such as prednisone.
Pregnant women should avoid using licorice as a supplement or consuming large amounts of licorice as food, as some research suggests it could increase the risk of preterm labor.
Tell all your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.

甘草會增加cortisol level,
但媽嗎吃甘草, 小孩八歲了, cortisol level 高3成,
影響會有那麼遠嗎???

孕婦吃甘草 童易罹患糖尿病含「可體松」易囤脂肪 喉糖蜜餞也少吃

許佳惠、實習編譯陳麗恩╱綜合報導】國外研究發現，孕婦吃甘草，胎兒成人後容易罹患高血壓、糖尿病或是體重過重等疾病。國內醫師表示，甘草含可體松成分，孕婦攝取過多，可能透過胎盤傳給胎兒，將來長大成人後內臟易儲存脂肪，導致心臟病和糖尿病，提醒孕婦應少吃喉糖和蜜餞等易含甘草食品。

國外研究
英國《每日郵報》昨報導，芬蘭赫爾辛基大學與倫敦大奧蒙德街醫院的研究人員，檢測一群八歲兒童體內可體松的荷爾蒙量，發現母親吃甘草的小孩，其體內可體松量會比母親沒有食用甘草的小孩高三分之一。
康寧醫院院長、婦產科醫師尹長生昨表示，可體松是種保護性賀爾蒙，當人體壓力大或感染時，就會分泌以保護人體，懷孕本身就會提高可體松濃度，若再補充甘草，可體松量恐太多，可能透過胎盤傳給胎兒，致寶寶先天性可體松濃度較高。 ...............................................

Eating liquorice during pregnancy ‘ups kids’ disease risk in adulthood’
By ANIAugust 8th, 2010
LONDON - Pregnant women who eat liquorice could be increasing their unborn child’s risk of diseases later in life, a new study has found.


Experts London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital and the University of Helsinki discovered that eight-year-olds who were exposed to liquorice in the womb had levels of the hormone cortisol up to a third higher than those whose mothers never ate it.
Cortisol helps the body deal with stress, but it is also linked to diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity.

In the study, mothers were asked how much liquorice they ate in pregnancy. Their children were tested aged eight for cortisol levels.

The researchers found that those whose mothers ate half a gram a week of liquorice - less than one Liquorice Allsorts sweet - or more in pregnancy had cortisol levels a third higher than those whose mothers did not eat it.

Scientists believe the presence of the naturally occurring, very sweet ingredient glycyrrhizin in liquorice ultimately affects the mechanism which regulates hormone levels.

“For those who eat a lot of liquorice, it may be a good idea to cut down when pregnant,” the Daily Mail quoted clinical scientist Alexander Jones of Great Ormond Street, one of the study’s authors, as saying. (ANI)

Eating Licorice In Pregnancy May Affect A Child's IQ And Behavior

Eating Licorice In Pregnancy May Affect A Child's IQ And Behavior
ScienceDaily (Oct. 7, 2009) — Expectant mothers who eat excessive quantities of licorice during pregnancy could adversely affect their child's intelligence and behavior, a study has shown.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------A study of eight year old children whose mothers ate large amounts of licorice when pregnant found they did not perform as well as other youngsters in cognitive tests.

They were also more likely to have poor attention spans and show disruptive behavior such as ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

It is thought that a component in licorice called glycyrrhizin may impair the placenta, allowing stress hormones to cross from the mother to the baby.

High levels of such hormones, known as glucocorticoids, are thought to affect fetal brain development and have been linked to behavioral disorders in children.

The results of the study are published in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Eight-year-olds whose mothers had been monitored for licorice consumption during pregnancy were tested on a range of cognitive functions including vocabulary, memory and spatial awareness.

Behavior was assessed using an in-depth questionnaire completed by the mother, which is also used by clinicians to evaluate children's behavior.

The study, carried out by the University of Helsinki and the University of Edinburgh, looked at children born in Finland, where consumption of licorice among young women is common.

Professor Jonathan Seckl, from the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Cardiovascular Science, said: "This shows that eating licorice during pregnancy may affect a child's behavior or IQ and suggests the importance of the placenta in preventing stress hormones that may affect cognitive development getting through to the baby."

Women who ate more than 500mg of glycyrrhizin per week – found in the equivalent of 100g of pure licorice – were more likely to have children with lower intelligence levels and more behavioral problems.

"Expectant mothers should avoid eating excessive amounts of licorice," said Professor Katri Räikkönen, from the University of Helsinki's Department of Psychology.

Of the children who took part in the study, 64 were exposed to high levels of glycyrrhizin in licorice, 46 to moderate levels and 211 to low levels.

The research followed on from a study which showed that licorice consumption was also linked to shorter pregnancies. Laboratory studies have also shown a link between the placenta not working to prevent stress hormones from passing through to the fetus, as well as a link to cardiac and metabolic disorders and behavioral problems in later life.

那西藥未引入時，
清朝以前幾千年中國人
豈不是早就完蛋了

據統計歷代中國人平均壽命:
穴居時代(黃帝~夏商時期也包含其中)→大約18歲

青銅器時代(殷商晚期~周秦之交)→大約20出頭

兩漢→大約35歲~40歲之間

三國時代→30歲不到

兩晉~南北朝→約20餘歲

隋代→近40歲

唐代前期→50歲上下。文人、官員年齡超過50歲的屢見不鮮

唐代後期~五代→30餘歲

兩宋→50歲上下。兩宋的文人平均年齡更高達60歲

元代→一般估計大約40餘歲

明代~清代前期(乾隆時代之前)→大約50餘歲

清代後期(嘉慶以後)→45歲上下

有學者估計過古代承平時期，女子平均年齡多半比男性低個3歲左右，因為在醫藥不發達的古代，常有婦女死於妊娠，俗語「生贏雞酒香，生輸四塊板」，可以說明古代生孩子真的是婦女生命的大事；但是戰亂時代，男子平均年齡就彼女子少的多了，因為烽煙既起，各地政府強徵男丁、強拉民夫上戰場，結果造成年輕男子什九死於戰禍。
平均四五十歲ㄉ壽命 為何說中藥養生 延年益壽?
倒是覺得古代人來不及活到"慢性病"代謝症候群"癌症"發生就走ㄌ 並不是他們不會得這些病
