You ate too much licorice - died
UPDATED TODAY 00:45PUBLISHED YESTERDAY 21:59
A man in the US state of Massachusetts has died after eating too much licorice, reports the BBC.
The 54-year-old man suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. He was at the time in a fast food restaurant and should not have shown any symptoms in advance.
According to the BBC, a few weeks before his death, the man had changed his usual consumption of sweets - from red fruit sticks to another type made of black licorice. He is said to have consumed about one and a half bags per day (however, it is not clear how much the bags contain).
Licorice caused death
In a scientific article published in the New England Journal of Medicine , physician Elazer R Edelman writes that glycyrrhizinic acid, found naturally in sweet licorice, caused the death.
He writes, among other things, that the substance can cause hypertension (high blood pressure), hypokalaemia (potassium deficiency), metabolic alkalosis (acid-base disorder), heart arrhythmia and kidney failure - and that all this was found in the patient. Another doctor confirms the link between the high liquorice consumption and the death.
50 grams of licorice - risk consumption
According to the Medical Products Agency, there is a risk of side effects in sensitive people who regularly eat 50 grams of licorice candy or more per day. Children are more sensitive than adults due to lower body weight and are therefore recommended not to eat licorice regularly.
People with high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney disease and pregnant women are also among possible risk groups. That high licorice consumption leads to death, however, is unusual.
- That you die from too much licorice intake is very rare. During my 25 years as a doctor, I have never encountered anything like this, says Håkan Fureman who works as an endocrinologist at Östersund Hospital.
Gives effect on blood pressure
He also does not think that you should be worried if you eat licorice from time to time.
- If you know that you are a high consumer, you should review your intake and count on it. If you are worried, you can control your blood pressure, it usually gives an early rise in blood pressure if you take too large amounts, he says.
There are currently no limit values for glycyrrhizinic acid in Sweden. However, for foods that contain high levels of the substance, there are rules on how they should be labeled on the packaging.

Friday morning: Clear, but also some fog clouds. Friday begins with quite a lot of sun in the country, but mainly after Thursday evening rain in the north, haze, fog and fog clouds have formed during the night. In the southwest, you can also start to see how high clouds begin to thicken before the rain is approaching. The map on the left shows the probable amount of precipitation in millimeters from Thursday evening to Friday morning. Photo: SVTShow all (7)Heavy rain is moving north

Friday morning: Clear, but also some fog clouds
Friday begins quite sunny, but mainly after Thursday evening rain in the north, haze, fog and fog clouds have formed during the night. In the southwest you can also see how high clouds begin to thicken before the rain is approaching.
Friday: Rain comes in
During the day, the clouds dominate the mountains and mountainous areas, and it can also rain a bit. From the southwest, the cloud cover increases, and a partly heavy rain, even with elements of thunder, reaches during the day. Otherwise densely high clouds in the south, but eastern Norrland gets a predominantly sunny late summer day.
Friday evening: Heavy rain sweeps up along the West Coast
It is still a bit uncertain, but probably the heaviest rain ends up west of Sweden on its journey north over Götaland during the evening and night towards Saturday. But the heavy rain is approaching, and can possibly sweep up along the West Coast. The wind is also increasing, and over seas off the West Coast, a gale is expected, ie strong winds. On Saturday night, the rain is slowly moving north, and locally there can be a lot of rain, even though the largest amounts have set their sights on southern Norway.
Saturday: Snowfall in the mountains
During Saturday, the rain moves further north, and since it moves quite slowly, it has time to fall slightly larger amounts, say 20-30 mm, even if it does not rain so heavily all the time. At least in higher terrain in the mountains, there is likely to be snow. Partly quite windy on Saturday, but that is usually the case if the weather is unstable.
Sunday: The rain slows down The
band of rain stops in its further movement north, and will instead slowly but surely weaken during the day and lie like a strip with increasingly fragmented rain from Västerbotten in the northeast to Värmland in the southwest. South of it late summer hot, quite sunny but also windy. In northern Norrland, another part of the thermometer is used, because it is the crisp autumn air that has the grip.
Monday – Tuesday – Wednesday: Unstable, but still warm for the season
After a 24-hour break, the rain in the north begins to move further north during Monday. A new rain wanders up along the east coast on Tuesday. On Wednesday, it will rain from the west. So it will be a rather unstable period with only a few sun chances between the rains, but still quite warm to be the final days of September.
Thursday – Sunday: Uncertain, but probably still unstable and warm
How October begins is still uncertain, but there are many indications that it will remain unstable and relatively warm for the season.

If there is a country I would like to move to it is USA
This is only true licorice. It causes your serum potassium to plummet to lethal levels. This is not true of anise.

Great now we are going to have licorice quarantines next...

Well if you were going to recommend 10 varieties for a first-time snus maker, what would they be?
I will definitely try that recipe Bob attached.

I can't recommend 10 varieties but I'll go for 1 , I belive very much in Small Stalk Black Mammoth.
Wait with the recipe , I'll launch a brand new recipe soon.

I can't answer that for 2 reasons.
1. It would take 12 pages.
2. I must respect the forum rules about discussing political based subjects. The owner and admins want to keep this forum a friendly place to discuss tobacco and other related topics. Their house, their rules. And that's a rule I agree with.

My moms grand parents immigrated from Sweden many years ago. They settled in Texas - I guess they had enough of the cold weather

My Dad's grandparents came from Sweden and settled in Minnesota in the late 1800's. I guessed they liked the cold. My grandpa grew up there and came here in the 1920's. Every water pipe on the farm is buried 6 feet deep, past that Minnesota frost line. Which really sucks when a stand pipe needs replacing and you have to dig a monster whole to reach the pipe. There is over 300' of pipe buried that deep. And he dug every inch of it by hand.***

nej jag kan inte prata svenska Got that purely offline. I take that to mean I either can't speak Swedish or I am the proud owner of a prada svenska handbag
My great grandmother did teach my mother the lords prayer in Swedish and was teaching her Swedish. Last time I posted that on this forum I got the thread locked because people thought it was too religious... Funny how religion is an important part of passing down culture. We aren't supposed to say that here though....
One example is in a way that a free country with religious freedom has sunk so low, almost to the same extent of the Chinese muslim re-education camps, that even a forum on tobacco feels the need to edit and block the mere mention of religion that is otherwise harmlessly mentioned and does not actively or passively implicate any specific religion.
We don't need a religious conversation arising from this thread or even an acknowledgement for or against religion. As free people and adults I take it for granted we should acknowledge and respect other peoples religious beliefs even if they are not necessarily in agreement with our own - I kind of think that was something this country was founded on that we have lost sight of in recent years - and has made our country less than it used to be. Just my two cents as a contributing member to this forum.

Perique[edit]
Main article: Perique
Perhaps the most strongly flavored of all tobaccos is the Perique, from Saint James Parish, Louisiana (Paroisse de Saint-Jacques). When the Acadians made their way into this region in 1755, the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes were cultivating a variety of tobacco with a distinctive flavor. A farmer called Pierre Chenet is credited with first turning this local tobacco into the Perique in 1824 through the technique of pressure-fermentation.
Considered the truffle of pipe tobaccos, the Perique is used as a component of many blended pipe tobaccos, but is too strong to be smoked pure. At one time, the freshly moist Perique was also chewed, but none is now sold for this purpose. It is traditionally a pipe tobacco, and is still very popular with pipe-smokers, typically blended with pure Virginia to lend spice, strength, and coolness to the blend
