Some People Know All Too Well How Bad Liquorice, or Any Candy for That Matter, Can Taste When Having Laid Out in the Sun Too Long - And I Think I Just Ate Too Much

Genuinely curious, why did you post this here? Like does anybody actually care? I can't imagine reading the headline, reading the article, and posting it here. Just why?

How is that funny? There is zero wit involved. Both of you are stupid beyond repair.
Are normal generally healthy folks at risk of this if we go in an extended junk food binge?

Lighten up, Francis. Even I laughed, and I'm not a Covid/vax denier.

"Normal" folks are *not* generally healthy. Overweight/obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are "the norm" in the US.
But beyond that: Sugar is a killer.
This is actually no joke. Licorice (at least, the genuine stuff) causes strong reactions in some people, with symptoms that lead up to congestive heart failure.
My wife discovered this on a trip to Iceland a few years ago. They really love their licorice in Iceland. We were there to do a half marathon (see, a running connection!) and she suffered badly during the race. Then in the following days she gained 25 lbs. We had no clue what was causing the fluid retention.
On return to the US she was tested for various things. These tests revealed that she had kidney cancer, which needed rapid surgery. The licorice reaction actually had nothing to do with the cancer, but it led to the discovery of the cancer.
We had no clue of the role of licorice in this until 2 years later when we returned to Iceland to have another try at the same race, my wife now running with one fewer kidney. And the same reaction happened again, bizarrely. That showed the connection to Iceland, and from there we figured that licorice was the culprit. It's actually a relatively well-known ailment in some cultures where there's higher licorice consumption.
So, ironically, licorice may have saved my wife's life.
Who in their right mind can OD on this disgusting food everyone hates?
Maybe this is why it tastes bad to nearly everyone. Over the eons, all the cave people who ate these roots keeled over dead eventually. Only the people who hated it survived.
Didn't know jelly beans had the stuff, must be the black ones nobody eats.

It is another example of black on white violence. Surprised the media reported on it.
Any naturopath could tell you the result of that foolishness.

I'm glad someone said this. Licorice is the nastiest thing I've ever tasted.
