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.
That 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.
