licorice root and reduced testosterone levels in men!


I read on a bodybuilding website that licorice root reduces testosterone levels drastically in men.
I shall write the article as i read it!

Clycyrrhizic acid inhibits or blocks both 17 (beta) hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of androstendione to testosterone, and 17,20-lyase, which catalyzes the conversion of 17 hydroxyprogesterone to androstenedione.

Now i`ll be honest i dont have a clue what that means but if licorice root does reduce testosterone then i think i should have ordered isocort instead yesterday as opposed to the kilo of licorice root bundles which are winging their way to my door!

Can anyone else shed any knowledge on this please?
