Heya, Dutch person here. Pretty sure that the whole heart problems angle on licorice is at best overstated. I, and plenty of people I know, have occasionally eaten much more than a pack of licorice in a day and survived. I'm sure you probably shouldn't if you've already got heart issues, but otherwise dig in.

Wikipedia mentioned a guy who ate some 200 grams every day and got medical problems. A fifth of a kilogram every day is arguably a lot.

I easily consumed over a pack a day of liquorice without problems for a long time, and already had heart issues. My blood pressure when I stopped taking it didn't change a dim; medicines and diet helped, as did eating less salty/fat meals and reducing alcohol.

Well yes, 200 grams every day is different from a kilogram every now and then. I'm not saying that you can't get into trouble with licorice, you're just reasonably unlikely to, and the claim that "a few pieces a day" is the limit is just asinine.

Yet, a few pieces a day is plenty.
