I am a sixth grader looking for great information to use for a letter for a school assignment. As I was looking through it I first found something about licorice, It says that eating licorice can help reduce body fat, heal stomach ulcers, and fight infections. Maybe you could add that to your next thing you write about healthy candy. you don’t half to but its a suggestion 🙂
Have a great day!
