Ah yes. Black Licorice, the candy that can inadvertently kill you if you eat a lot of it.

Yep. Great for people with low blood pressure, in moderation. If you've already got high blood pressure, stay away from that nasty stuff.

As a Scandinavian I've never heard of that. Appearently you have to eat more than 50g per day over a week, which is quite a lot.

50g???
That must be the weight of one of the toxic components of it. Cause I have eaten more than 100 of salt sild or tyrkisk pepper several days in a raw before

You eat 100g licorice per day for a week? If you do, you may be in danger.

NHI:

>Å spise mer enn 50 gram svart lakris om dagen i minst to uker, kan føre til potensielt alvorlige helseproblemer - som økt blodtrykk og uregelmessig hjerterytme.

There are very few cases of this happening, and you're at risk probably only if you do this over time and/or are older than 50.
