Hatch Posted 7 January, 2009 Posted 7 January, 2009 Tricksters. They lull you into a false sense of security thinking they are good, so you eat loads. 10 minutes later , you are sick as a dog.
thesaint sfc Posted 7 January, 2009 Posted 7 January, 2009 hate em I hate you and loath your existence.
Scudamore Posted 7 January, 2009 Author Posted 7 January, 2009 Tricksters. They lull you into a false sense of security thinking they are good, so you eat loads. 10 minutes later , you are sick as a dog. I'm feeling a little sick at the moment... Also why is there only ever one of those blue Bertie Bassett jobbies per box? They're f::cking lovely compared to the rest...which i think are merely okay...
JohnnyFartPants Posted 7 January, 2009 Posted 7 January, 2009 I really can't stand them. Not only are they vile to eat but also in 1942 one of them fatally wounded my Granddad.

thesaint sfc Posted 7 January, 2009 Posted 7 January, 2009 What about the fruit ones ? What about them? They're f*cking rank.
Ponty Posted 7 January, 2009 Posted 7 January, 2009 The pink and blue ones covered in little candy bits are good. The others are tools of the devil. I agree with the bum-troubler.

bridge too far Posted 7 January, 2009 Posted 7 January, 2009 This is what it does to you :shock: Liquorice affects the body's endocrine system as it contains isoflavones (phytoestrogens). It can lower the amount of serum testosterone,[12] but whether it affects the amount of free testosterone is unclear. Consuming licorice can prevent hyperkalemia. Large doses of glycyrrhizinic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid in liquorice extract can lead to hypokalemia and serious increases in blood pressure, a syndrome known as apparent mineralocorticoid excess. These side effects stem from the inhibition of the enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (type 2) and subsequent increase in activity of cortisol on the kidney. 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase normally inactivates cortisol in the kidney; thus, liquorice's inhibition of this enzyme makes the concentration of cortisol appear to increase. Cortisol acts at the same receptor as the hormone aldosterone in the kidney and the effects mimic aldosterone excess, although aldosterone remains low or normal during liquorice overdose. To decrease the chances of these serious side effects, deglycyrrhizinated liquorice preparations are available. The disabling of similar enzymes in the gut by glycyrrhizinic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid also causes increased mucus and decreased acid secretion. It inhibits Helicobacter pylori, is used as an aid for healing stomach and duodenal ulcers, and in moderate amounts may soothe an upset stomach. Liquorice can be used to treat ileitis, leaky gut syndrome, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease as it is antispasmodic in the bowels.[13] A veritable pharmacy in a sweet box!

TopGun Posted 8 January, 2009 Posted 8 January, 2009 The blue ones are nice and so are the black barrel shaped ones. The rest are a waste of space.
