This one may be a little hard to stomach but liquorice, with all that bitter anise taste it brings to the table, has been hailed as the latest Superfood capable of curing all manner of ills. | |||
From fighting depression to treating respiratory problems, and even helping women deal with menopause, its apparent benefits has divided experts. | |||
Dr Rosemary Stanton is one of Australia's foremost nutritionists and she is not convinced. | |||
'The principle component is glycyrrhizin, derived from the liquorice root but somewhat ironically, the bio-availability of this compound is reduced in liquorice sweets,' she told Daily Mail Australia. | |||
'It can be hazardous for those with high blood pressure.' | |||
So when the acclaimed chocolate master Max Brenner decides to put the polarising taste to the test by adding a liquorice hot chocolate to the menu, it begs the question - are so-called Superfoods a real help or just hype? | |||
Dr Stanton has a clear view, insisting there's no need to seek miracle benefits from food, insisting a balanced diet and a limit on junk food is the key. | |||
'I don't believe in the idea of superfoods,' she said. | |||
'I think we have good nutritious foods that we should choose with lots of variety. | |||
'For example there are vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes and whole-grains and a heap of junk foods that we should consume only in small quantities. | |||
'I'm also happy for people to add small portions of meat or poultry plus seafood, milk, yoghurt and cheese. | |||
'The current diet has over 35 per cent of its kilojoules coming from junk foods and drinks, with over 40 per cent for kids. | |||
'There's no superfood that can rescue us from so much junk.' | |||
