Licorice is toxic in relatively low quantities though.
> If you’re 40 or older, eating 2 ounces of black licorice a day for at least two weeks could land you in the hospital with an irregular heart rhythm or arrhythmia.

- ThePadawan 6y agoThat phrasing so annoyingly waffley. "Could" might mean "if you're already predisposed to arrhythmia" or "if you're somewhat allergic to the ingredients". As it stands, I feel that sentence could apply to any atypical food, like pickled herring or durian fruit.
