I'd love to know what everyone thinks of this.

Always someone trying to 'do a public service" by telling us how too much of something "may be bad for us" and "may cause some problems".

Too much Potassium and you get heart beat problems - and now licorice can cause too low a Potassium level and heart beat problems.....

Almost seems like they are wanting to inundate the medical folks by having a million minor things that folks can "self diagnose" with and go looking for their favorite "seen on TV" drug...

Glycyrrhizin can cause potassium levels in the body to fall.

I recently noticed some strange problems with my heartbeat and thought maybe it was time to consult a cardiologist. But then I realized that this issue always seemed to occur when I had been drinking a certain kind of tea. It was Earl Grey tea, a brand with "double bergamot oil". I looked up whether other people had had similar problems and I read that bergamot oil can deplete potassium from the body.
