As many other Danes, I have a total weakness for licorice. But I believe it’s common knowledge that you’re not supposed to eat a lot of it at once. Certain types do have warnings printed on them like “For adults, not for kids” but most do not.
The sneaky part that the article also describes is that you don’t really feel any symptoms until it’s too late. So once in a while when I buy a pack I spread it out over several days, preferably with space in between just to be sure.
Also, my mom ate a bunch of one of those ‘not for kids’ types of licorice when she was pregnant with me which is kind of concerning. I don’t know exactly how much though, hopefully not dangerous amounts. At least I don’t know that I have suffered any direct consequences of that habit.
