    Moderation is the key; Yes, black licorice can be hard on your heart if consumed in large amounts. It contains a compound called glycyrrhizin, which can lower potassium levels in the body. Low potassium can lead to abnormal heart rhythms, high blood pressure, and even congestive heart failure in some cases. The FDA advises caution, especially for people over 40 or those with pre-existing heart conditions. Eating excessive amounts—like multiple 2-ounce bags daily for at least two weeks—can increase the risk of serious health issues.
