First reply right out of the chute, nothing left to be said.
On display right next to the Vegemite?
How about Ouzo?
Years ago I was listening to Paul Harvey and he had a story about a candy company that tried to make candy that was good for your teeth. Reagan was President and famous for his love of jelly beans so they tested their candy against jelly beans as a dig against Reagan. They were shocked and embarrassed to find that jelly beans beat their candy as good for your teeth. It appears the beeswax in jelly beans retards the formation of tarter and licorice jelly beans in particular were the most effective.
one must be careful if eating too much black licorice
Hidden Risks of Black Licorice
https://www.rutgers.edu/news/hidden-risks-black-licorice
What is a safe amount to consume?
There is not a specific “safe” amount, but people with high blood pressure or heart or kidney disease should avoid black licorice, which could worsen these conditions. For people over 40, the FDA says that more than two ounces a day for two weeks may be problematic and cause irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia. People who are on medications or supplements that may be affected by licorice consumption should consult their doctor.
All foods and beverages should be consumed in moderation. It’s Ok to enjoy an occasional black licorice, but it should not be part of your daily diet, particularly if you have underlying conditions that might be worsened by it.
Was the explosive combination green also? Mine looked like the stuff that comes out of a cow on a green pasture.
Yes, lol. Indeed it was.
Prolonged use of large amounts may lead to higher blood levels of sodium and lower potassium, causing edema, hypertension and heart problems; adrenal depletion may also occur.
Dried caulk is more a bit more chalky... just my opinion.
I love my licorice and I love my Absinthe.
Grand Funk Railroad - Black Licorice
Had forgot about this song until now. lol
If it's red licorice, though, I'm going to live forever.
Do you think DGL is safe? Deglyzzinated ( I know I misspelled it.). We are taking that for acid reflux. My dad already has leg swelling and is taking a fluid pill and potassium, but his potassium level is okay. If I understand correctly, the D in the DGL negates those side effects.
"Real black licorice candy can be dangerous if you consume it in large amounts. Much of the black licorice sold in the United States isn't dangerous at all, because much of the licorice sold in the U.S. doesn't contain any actual licorice from the licorice plant. Instead, manufacturers add anise to the candy to give it a licorice-like flavor."
I’m glad you all brought up the danger of too much licorice. I don’t care to eat black licorice, and I’ve always been afraid of making my own licorice root tincture. I do allow myself one Yogi licorice tea a week. It is so good!
THIS stuff is the bomb, licorice-wise. Chocolate covered licorice may seem like an odd idea, but don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.
I love it
You know what dried caulk feels like lmao
I take my teeth out when i eat them
