Default Amacha and dulcin

Hi,

A Japanese "tea" named Amacha (or also Buddha Tea) is made
of Hortensia leaves. It has a very sweet taste of liquorice.

I see that it naturally contains dulcin.

However, dulcin is a sugar substitute that is said to be
dangerous (possible carcinogenic properties, and dependency)
Is it the same for the natural dulcin in Amacha?

Have you ever heard something about the dangerosity of Amacha and
its consumption?

Thanks beforehand,

--
