The man was eating a bag and a half of black licorice every day in the weeks leading up to his death. 9News

"Even some beers, like Belgian beers, have this compound in it," as do some chewing tobaccos, said Dr Robert Eckel, a University of Colorado cardiologist and former American Heart Association president.The death was clearly an extreme case. The man had switched from red, fruit-flavoured twists to the black licorice version of the candy a few weeks before his death last year.

He collapsed while having lunch at a fast-food restaurant. Doctors found he had dangerously low potassium, which led to heart rhythm and other problems. Emergency responders did CPR and he revived but died the next day. The FDA permits up to 3.1 per cent of a food's content to have glycyrrhizic acid, but many candies and other licorice products don't reveal how much of it is contained per ounce, Butala said.

‘Let us eat good food like our customers’Food delivery drivers – dubbed the “heroes of the pandemic” – are pleading for better pay from platforms like UberEats and Deliveroo so they can afford “to eat good food like our customers”. Some pretty serious inequality problems are emerging right now. It's hard to see how we have gotten away with being so exploitative for so long. I always give a grand tip to my Menulog drivers.. I know they’re paid a pittance 😉 Fk em! Get a better job.
