Personally if I were going to recommend alternative sweets on the basis of not being gross and not poisoning you, I would not have chosen Hershey's (contains butyric acid, frequently perceived as gross especially by non-Americans), Snickers (Mars chocolate recently found by Consumer Reports to be high in heavy metals), or M&Ms (same as Snickers plus recurring concerns about the dyes).
> They even eat licorice salted with ammonium chloride which is especially gross.
Luckily we can also eat our ammonium chloride without glycyrrhizin!

I'll keep that in mind in case I ever need to give my urea cycle some exercise :)
Thanks, knew it was bad, but not these details!

Lucky for me, I hate the taste of black licorice and the texture of red licorice. Why not chew on a rope dipped in sugar?
