Get yourself an actual liquorice root and stop eating this filthy industrial stuff. They’re even good for your teeth !

I like black licorice. Well, the real stuff anyways. That synthetic flavor is terrible. The meme made me look up the real FDA warning lol

Eating large amounts of black licorice, particularly for those over 40, can pose health risks. Specifically, eating two ounces or more daily for at least two weeks can lead to serious health problems, including irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia), high blood pressure, and even congestive heart failure. This is due to the presence of glycyrrhizin, a compound in licorice root, which can cause potassium levels in the body to drop.

So, the problem is for specific persons with already low potassium and high sodium in their systems, especially those people over 40, by eating at least 2 ounces of black licorice every day for at least two weeks

I like black licorice, but there’s no way I would eat it daily for at least two weeks. It’s just an occasional palate cleanser kind of thing.

I absolutely hate licorice, but my girlfriend is sitting there asking me to share the gospel on what a great thing licorice is

I dunno about the artificial flavored ones, but I know the real deal is bad for you in even modest amounts over a long time. It’s fine as long as you’re not eating it every day or two. Also it’s delicious. There’s probably a genetic reason some people don’t like it. Like bitter vegetables it cilantro.

I just came back from Denmark. They love liquorice over there. They have as much liquorice candy as other places have chocolate. There is more liquorice than chocolate. A couple of times I bought it by accident, thinking it was something else. At one point my friend was so afraid that he made sure that the hot-dog he’s buying doesn’t contain any liquorice.

Gives me a headache, unfortunately. Then again, I’m over 40.

Oh you clueless people, black licorice is da bomb.

Add salt
