Title: The Best Black Licorice!
Review: I've been eating black licorice since I was a kid and my dad introduced me to the bitter, English variety. Loved it. However, I have to say that the Kookabura licorice is even better, and definitely easier on the teeth since it's softer. As for the latest scare in the health news about black licorice and fluid/electrolyte abnormalities, don't worry. I'm an M.D. specializing kidney diseases (a Nephrologist), and you would have to eat a grossly large amount of licorice over several days to induce the problematic hypokalemia, metabolic alkylosis, and fluid retention. People with underlying kidney dysfunction may be more at risk. The licorice also has to be made of real licorice extract; the licorice-flavored varieties have no effect on the aldosterone receptors of the kidney. So, enjoy this fantastic licorice, but just don't be a pig about it!
