Most studies that evaluate anti-cancer activities of licorice are cell-based studies. Additional clinical studies are needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness as a cancer treatment. In an oral cancer cell line, a polysaccharide from licorice encourages apoptosis and prevents cancer cells from growing. In a human cancer cell line, licorice is especially toxic to human cancer cells, but not healthy cells.(10), (11), (12), (13) 9.
