Love the stuff, some don't. The brand they sell at tractor supply is pretty good. (Darrell Lea) is the name. Anyone have a favorite brand?

That stuff should be banned from using the title of candy. I get a bag of jelly beans and the black ones all get thrown away.

AWE CRAP!

Black Licorice: Dangerous Candy

Eat too much candy and you’ll be sorry. Eat too much black licorice, and you could be dead.
This creepy Halloween warning comes from the FDA. Too much black licorice, the federal agency says, can lead to “abnormal heart rhythms, as well as high blood pressure, edema (swelling), lethargy, and congestive heart failure.”
How much is too much? The FDA warns people age 40 and older not to eat 2 ounces of black licorice a day for two weeks or more.
And that’s a conservative warning. The NIH has warned that it’s “possibly unsafe” to eat just 1 ounce of black licorice a day for several weeks. In addition to the FDA’s list of drastic possible too-much-licorice results, the NIH adds paralysis, brain damage, and erectile dysfunction.
And if you eat a lot of salt, if you have high blood pressure, or if you have heart or kidney disease, the NIH says as little as a sixth of an ounce of licorice a day could cause these problems.
The issue, well known to many forms of traditional medicine, is that licorice root contains a drug: glycyrrhizin.
Many of those who use licorice as an herbal remedy seek relief of sore throat, cough, infections, arthritis, lupus, or chronic fatigue syndrome. It’s been used to treat all kinds of ailments ranging from muscle cramps to prostate cancer, although there’s no solid scientific evidence that it actually works.
But the potential side effects are real enough. That’s because licorice — real black licorice, not the phony licorice-flavored stuff flavored with anise oil — causes a drop in potassium levels. It may also mimic the activity of the female sex hormone estrogen.
The NIH advises women NOT to eat black licorice while they are pregnant or breast feeding. People with hormone sensitive conditions, such as breast cancer or endometriosis, should avoid licorice.
And don’t eat licorice for at least two weeks before planned surgery. It can interfere with blood pressure during and after your procedure.
The NIH warns people taking Coumadin (warfarin) never to eat black licorice, as licorice makes the drug less effective. And the NIH says licorice also may interfere with digoxin, estrogens, furosemide, blood pressure drugs, steroid drugs, and diuretics (water pills). Also, licorice may alter the activity of drugs processed by the liver.
Interest declared: I love black licorice. But this Halloween, I’m cutting back.

Black licorice is for old people who no longer have sense of taste.

Black is the only REAL licorice. Store here in S. MN has 100's of varieties(3,000 kinds of candy!). Aussies make some primo stuff(best I've found around the world).

When I get a hankering for black licorice I just go in the bathroom and spray some of the wife's perfume in my mouth.

That usually gets me over it.

JagerMeister which contains liquorice is used by a lot of Germans as a after supper drink to settle the stomach. I can see how black liquorice would help with that. I'm not a fan myself though lol.

Re: Black Liquorice? - 08/09/18 03:11 PM

Nope, no, not for me.

When i was a lilltle duffer, my Granddad had me one day and asked if i wanted some licorice.
Well heck yea! He pulls out a paper poke that had sticks of what looked like twisted-up tobacco in it. Cured me on black licorice!

Re: Black Liquorice? - 08/09/18 03:46 PM

I like it once in a while. My wife cannot stand the smell of it or anise.
Now I will think of that warning every time I see licorice. But who knows if there is anything credible there? It is amazing the lengths that people will go to to start a rumor. The depth of research and really clever methods to convince you of things that are totally fiction. Ever read those dire warnings about canola oil? Fry one egg in it and X's appear on your eyes like the cartoons. One egg you dead. Except the stuff is harmless--if it wasn't I WOULD have X's on my eyes.
Who wants to spend their time dreaming up that stuff?

Before you stop eating your favorite candy at least get a second opinion.

Black jelly bean addict, also like Blackjack gum. Never tried the stuff they sell at TSC but might have to now. Never even heard of black licorice ice cream and can't quite get my mind wrapped around that, but I'd try it.

I get more when I am on my last couple of pounds. No I am not a hoarder, but like ammo, I like to have a bit of a buffer for times when there is none to be had.

China Star Anise extract is also #1 ermine lure. All the mustelids(weasel family) are attracted to it.
