Black Licorice is my favorite candy. My dad only kept black licorice in the house, because he loved it and none of the kids would eat it so he'd always have a candy stash. And then I was born, and I loved it too. It was nice sharing that with him and always having candy that only the two of us would eat. ❤️
Since no one has mentioned it: the actual warning is that black licorice contains a compound which causes one's potassium levels to drop. If you eat a lot of it, especially if you're over 40, it can cause irregular heart rhythm, high blood pressure, or even congestive heart failure.
But, you have to eat quite a lot of it for it to be dangerous, and your potassium levels will recover once you stop binging on licorice. It's fine to eat, just don't gorge on it. Which you don't want to binge on any candy because of the beetus.
