Licorice candy has glycyrrhizin which increases cortisol (stress hormone) levels in the body. This causes hypokalemia. Hypo- low. Kal- kalium (potassium). emia- presence in blood. Potassium signals muscle relaxation. Low potassium, low relaxation. Heart can't relax, then it stops.
Real licorice candy is not easy to get in the United States. It's not at big chain grocery stores. Most of what you can buy from the big brands is licorice flavored, and won't do this.
These cases are patients who I, or my colleagues have seen. They are de-identified and many instances have been presented in more depth in an academic setting. These videos are not individual medical advice and are for general educational purposes only. I do not give medical advice over the internet.

In one sitting? Whoof, that sounds like it could be bad-
"every day for 3 weeks"
HOW ARE YOU ALIVE???
Well.. he isn't
usually in a chubbyemu vid the patient survives this is probably one of the times where they didnt
@@jocelynuy2922 I was hoping he would survive but then after hearing how badly sick he was I was thinking he might not make it. It’s a sad story. Maybe eating lots of candy was his way of staying drug free.
I ate a bag a day growing up and nothing ever happened. Don’t think this video is accurate
@@Alice-kq8eo lol chubbyemu did mention that most of the licorice candy you find is just licorice-flavoured, and doesn't actually contain the real licorice in it, which then won't have all these effects
its horrific that he ultimately sustained permanent fatal brain damage, but the fact someones heart can stop for **30 minutes** and then they can still be revived in any sense is unreal to me
sounds like it was 30 minutes from collapse to the ER. but that CPR was being performed since they said his heart stopped several times on the way.. my guess is the initial cardiac arrest was probably 8 or 9 minutes which is enough still do do someone's brain in..
"A man ate 2 pounds of licorice candy"
Oh that's not the worst, it's a lot bu-
"Every day for 2 weeks"

For real. How do you even do that? I'd think you'd get sick of it by the 3rd pound. Also damn, imagine the caloric intake. Dude must have weight a healthy 600 lbs.
My mom gave me four pounds of Rockets once, and I just threw them out except for a couple of rolls for myself. Nobody needs that much crap!
Not the worst???? Thats 1 kg mate. I am dutch amd man we love licorice like no others but that is an insane amount...
@@kerimgueney IKR, I get sick of it just from the smell.
@@obi-wankenobi4056 And so do we swedes but we tend to prefer salty licorice but it is rare in other countries.
I love how deeply you explained that you can't feed unconscious people hundreds of bananas
Now i understand why my grandmas hospital room was full of rotten bananas when i came back two days later. The dr told me she was low in potassium... I thought i was helping🤔
People are so stupid nowadays that i can see why he did that lol
Well... you can if you really put effort into it...
Now I know how to eat while sleeping

I'm very glad I'd seen this when my dad started drinking pure liquorice tea. He absolutely loves it, and because I'd seen this video, I told him he should be careful and limit his consumption to 2 maybe or 3 cups per day. He hasn't run into any issues at all. He drinks it almost every day, but never in large amounts because he knows it's a bad idea.
Update: he has had to stop drinking liquorice tea because it's given him high blood pressure. I guess the 3 cups a day was a bit too much. I suspect it'll go back to normal though, once the glycyrrhizin is out of his body and he can get rid of cortisol as normal!
@@rubyinferno7578 Wow!! I'm glad you saw this and let him know!!
@@rubyinferno7578if he really loves the taste, there's deglycyrrhyzinated versions of many licorice products :)

As someone who loves licorice, I’m glad I came across this video.

This is an eye opener for me. I struggled with the same addiction, even contracted Hep-C, and successfully received treatment for both. Thankfully I been clean for 3 years. In the early stages of recovery, it's very common to develop an insatiable craving for candy, as it stimulates the same part of the brain that substances do. It's even worse for alcoholics fyi, because alcohol turns into sugar when ingested. Anyway in the beginning, I would find myself eating at least three theater-sized boxes of Dots a day, sometimes in one sitting. I already have terrible eating habits, but after replacing heroin with candy they became ten times worse. I HAVE cut the consumption in half, but I have much more to go.
Even though it's not licorice candy, it's still candy, and half of the additives that go into it I can't even pronounce. This is another much needed example of why my efforts must be doubled.🙏♥️
Keep up the hard work 👍 It will pay off. Best wishes!
@@lansvale28 Thank you, I plan to🤙
Well done on all of your self improvement!! ❤️
Look into gaba, tyrosine, and 5htp for addiction recovery.
you're doing awesome, proud of you for the progress you've made!

_Sweating in Scandinavian_
I love this channel
Dutch people: *start sweating*
Why
Because licorice is drop

Kid who dissolved his bones: Hold my Flintstones
The video actually had that pop up in the corner as a suggested video as he said that.
I got some on clearance and had to remember to keep the maximum at 4 (152% calcium). They have 5g of sugar a piece, so they're quite addicting. Overdosing on them would probably cause kidney stones. Never had kidney stones; never want them.
@@Sevness emu did that intentionally.
@@manictiger I have never had them either, but I remember once having a bag of old fashion real black licorice pieces, and yeah, I had trouble not eating the whole thing in one sitting with as much as I liked them, the only thing that kept me from doing it was knowing it wouldn't be healthy, and the fact the bag was old so the candies where stale so I had to take my time eating them so they would soften up.
say this for someone who smokes cannabis regulary...
I found this extremely interesting as in my mid 20's i was diagnosed with a kidney disorder where my kidneys essentially just dump potassium way faster than they should. In my early teens i started waking up screaming in pain because my lower legs would seize up and the pain was unbearable and most of the time i couldnt even stand up to force the cramp out. My dad would run in and help fight the muscle til it let go.
Until we moved to a city where a doctor who could send me to a kidney specialist existed i was taking 4 giant potassium pills a day that i got via prescription from my dr. They knew the problem was my potassium levels would drop drastically on their own and just didnt know why.
Now i know why they do it, and thanks to this video, why potassium is so important and why it caused such horrific painful muscle cramps.
Thank you!
I had the same problem with waking up screaming form muscle cramps! Turns out I can’t have gluten, and my guts were so messed up I couldn’t absorb any micronutrients despite eating normally
Did your condition get resolved? After living in mold & contracting multiple tick diseases it was found that my kidneys dump potassium yet the other electrolytes stay fairly balanced which drs say is unusual since they work in tandem..
I take large amounts of prescription potassium daily for the last few years. I also deal with chronic dehydration which I’m sure is related to potassium deficiency and I have to go to clinic for IV fluids with electrolytes every week for the last 4 years..
Id love to learn how to help my body heal but so far am at a loss and so far drs haven’t had any good insights either..

Very popular candy in The Netherlands. I have been eating it all my life and I love it. It's not uncommon to devour an entire bag. Didn't know it could be this dangerous. Thanks for the info.
I've just looked up my fav guilty pleasure 'licorice' to see if I'd die from a whole bag, but it's salmiak and not zoethout. So I suppose I'll die in a different horrible way.
Though I may cut down on chewing raw licorice when I'm stressed xD
@@Roozyj If I understand correctly, since licorice promotes cortisol production, and cortisol is a stress hormone, it would be a bad idea to chow down on it while already stressed. It will only make you more "wired" and not because of the sugar.
@@YFZriderdude15 That makes sense. I like it because I clench my jaw when I'm stressed and licorice has a nice consistancy to bite on (plus a great taste)
Was thinking about how much liquorice is in the Netherlands throughout this video 😂
Same in Finland, we love our licorice.
Out of all the candies you overdosed on you choose Licorice
Somewhere out there:
Dude with licorice habit switches to heroin.
Another Zelda Fan?
Dude😂
@David Daivdson bruh. Adaptation of opioid receptors to pleasure experience takes place in every dose, the person would have to take more and more to feel the same as he did in the first day. Not to mention the impurities in the street heroin will also mess up the body.
@iif That's not from the drug, itself.
The only real potential for damage is from overdose. Which, while admittedly bad, isn't necessarily a danger to all users.
And, if you live with family or roommates, you can lower that risk even more, by keeping a couple naloxone kits around the house, and educate fam & friends on when to use them.
Not recommending anyone start using opioids. Withdrawal is possibly the worst thing you could ever go through in your life.

@@rogervincent8314 yes.
A friend of mine was hospitalized some years ago because his blood pressure went through the roof and his heartbeat was seriously irregular. He also used to eat a LOT of black licorice, but didn't think of mentioning it to the doctors, because he didn't know the possible health risks. Thankfully, when his wife talked to the doctors the next day, she told them he'd polished off a large box of black licorice the night before he was admitted, so they knew what was going on. (You can buy real black licorice pretty much everywhere here in Germany.) The doctors told him how dangerous his overconsumption of black licorice was, and afaik, he has not eaten any since. Now that I've watched this video, I get how serious this was!
licorice is not good for people with hypertension
@@yvonneholmes2990 I think he did not even have issues with hypertension *before*, but if you eat two pounds of licorice in one go, it messes with the blood pressure of even a healthy person.
Ididnt say "him" imeant people in general,, duh
@@yvonneholmes2990than why did you comment it here and not seperatly? Duh.. M.
"But he wasn't stressed, he was eating bags of candy" idk man I'd say a man eating 2lbs of candy a day is pretty stressed
But.. it’s comfort food 😮
i’d say he’s just having a good time
Sweets and carbs do not give a satiety signal. I am talking about being satiated, not about having eaten enough to feel discomfort. Eat 10 ounces of beef fat versus eating 10 ounces of candy.
@@maranscandy9350 I would feel satiated if I were to eat a pound of cake.
So I don't know what you're talking about.
@@maranscandy9350 Does Big Macs count as comfort food?
“VP isn’t stressed. He’s eating several pounds of candy a day.”
Yeah totally doesn’t sound like stress eating to me.
Sounds like a normal American thing. A few pounds a day doesn’t sound that hard actually. He was eating that much fruit flavor gummies and was fine but the acid in licorice is what caused all the problems
@@chi7818 I don't know which of my countrymen you've been talking to but speaking for myself I would not eat multiple pounds of candy in one day. I'd get sick long before I could finish it all. (and that's assuming that i'd want to eat that much in the first place.)
XXStrong1 bro it’s easier than you think. All it takes is a quarter pound every few hours and you’re eating 2+ pounds easy.
I doubt the dude was just pounding 2 pounds of licorice in one sitting like the video, he probably had it as a snack and would just graze on it throughout the day.
A small bag of licorice candy is $2.99 and 10oz at target so eating 3 of those throughout the day would be cake.
Or it would be the equivalent of eating 2 monster energy drinks weight of licorice which again isn’t that much. Or 2 pints of ice cream. All this is doable to anyone with a sweet tooth especially if it’s a large man.
chi I stand corrected.
XXStrong1 yeah it’s scary how easy it is to eat large amounts of junk food. A few years ago I started working out and really paying attention to my diet and realized how bad it was without me noticing.
For example a large coke at McDonald’s is 30oz which is 2.5 cans of regular coke. You get one refill and you just drank 5 cans of coke in one meal. You would never say I drink 5 cans of coke for lunch but getting a large and a refill is normal.
he managed to quit H only to die from coping with candy.. he survived H and died to fucking candy.. i feel so bad for him
This channel taught me to never eat too much of anything every single day. From peanuts, oranges to licorice
What we’ve learned from this channel:
Don’t eat massive amounts of things.
& don't drink your lava lamp
And stay away from nutmeg. Seriously.
most importantly dont eat rotten cheap shits from the dumpster or dont eat shits that arent edible
Or gas station nachos
And stay the fuck away from gas station food
This channel’s theme is “everything in moderation”
Edit: Oh, and “emia means present in blood”
Weeeeell, everything except maybe like, tide pods and self prescribed drugs lol
Sodium is more formally Natrium, and Potassium is more formally Kalium, as seen from their symbols on the periodic table
so this channel's theme is moderationema?
Every video is either "People eat dumb stuff" or "People eat normal stuff at dumb amounts"
gotta consume plutonium in moderation
Man this story reminded me so much of my cousin who passed back in May of 2016. I don't really know per se what the cause of her low potassium was but it was the main cause of her death. She had suffered from these attacks almost yearly but when she almost turned 40 it was her last attack. She was always scared of going to the hospital and when she did the first time her anxiety took over her and we had to go back home. We tried feeding her bananas, nebulizing her, all that stuff. Eventually it came to a point during the midnight that the people in our house saw her discolored toes and her really trying to breathe. Sadly she didn't make it. However, I'm glad that you were able to shine some light on how this happens and it was an interesting and sort of bittersweet video to watch. 💛💛💛
Wow this was so informative. I have type 1 diabetes and when I was a teen I was put in ICU in diabetic ketoacidosis. The nurses also told me that I had the lowest potassium they had ever seen other than in cardiac arrest patients. I was never told the scientific term for this but now almost 20 years later, I learned it from this video!
can we just talk about how "-emia meaning presence in blood" has been memed, "mitochondrium is the powerhouse of the cell" has been memed, but "a small science experiment where we show that wherever sodium is, water will folow" hasn't been memed yet?
True, he ALWAYS makes the sodium water sausage!

His mother couldn’t read English. That was a sad one.
I wouldn't even be able to eat gummy candy in such amount as he does!
Only flinstone vitamins for me good sir
There was a boy at my high school who had problems with accidentally trying to eat things that aren't food without really realizing he was doing it. He mentioned it to me freshman year, but said he'd gotten better at controlling it as he got older. My high school subjected students to extreme sleep deprivation due to the high homework loads, (usually 4-6 hours of sleep a night on average, with a lot of days operating on only one or two hours,) and we all started noticing that on days where that guy was really tired he would inevitably start trying to eat pencils, erasers, or paper until someone pointed it out and he realized what was happening. On one occasions during engineering class he almost drank wood glue. So basically everybody started trying to keep an eye on him so he didn't actually poison himself with something, but one day a friend of mine jokingly said he was surprised that he hadn't had to get his stomach pumped at the hospital at some point. The boy replied that he had actually gotten his stomach pumped when he was seven because he got a hold of vitamin gummies and apparently didn't notice he was eating more than he was supposed to. So. Keep vitamin gummies away from people that absentmindedly eat things
Chubbyemu's video are so good! He makes medical cases dramatic but not in a TV drama way, he makes the learning aspect as engaging as the story!
You do an exceptional job explaining the physiology and chemistry behind what happened to people. You would make an excellent medical professor.. I love listening to someone who really knows their stuff like you.

@@PolishBehemoth I absolutely hate licorice and every similar flavour, like fennel and anise. Don't know why. I like everything basically, but I stay tf away from those.
Moderation is key, too much of anything is a bad thing, as is injecting weird substances into your body via needles, though the patient didn't stop even when he had the suspicion that the needle was dirty, yet used it anyway thus infecting himself with Hepatitis C

It's easy to mock but, however clever the brain often is, it will let it destroy itself quite easily with simple things. This guy didn't start eating that much to destroy himself, but his brain nor his body signalled him he was doing it either. And hindsight is a dumb thing.

This one has some great info. Stress response has always been anthropomorphized and skimmed over when I hear about it. Explaining the chemistry really makes it make sense how impactful stress can be
"And you don't give unconscious people things to eat"
This changes everything

Lmaooooo
Unconscious people do not want tea.
@therachelsam that video is so funny
I feel like we've hacked the matrix now
“Don’t do licorice kids.”
Licorice root can actually be good for you. Of course if you eat 2 kg a day......'Presented to the Emergency room"
Don't do drugs, you might die of licorice poisoning.
Don't do any kinds of kids.
M A C I see what you did there
@@PoetofHateSpeech 2 lbs is less than a kg
"It does make me wonder where exactly did this patient get his candy from?"
Me living in Finland: "Hmmm I think I might know the answer" 🤔😏
Every time I watch a video you post, I say “I’ll just watch this one and check out my other recommendations,” but I ALWAYS end up watching 3 or 4 in a row
"You wouldn't eat gummy vitamins like candy."
Cut to:
"A BOY ATE 150 GUMMY VITAMINS FOR BREAKFAST. HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED."
Lol
Mine is man ate 100 Zinc Gummies

@Silence wench I just want to be happy I thought we all did this when we where little until I was 12
I think one time I ate like 30 when I was a kid… that was dumb
The lesson of the day: Do everything in moderation.
That's everyday's lesson
But I don't like moderation. Can I have it in moderation? And everything else excessively?
Lesson of the day: don't do anything. It's dangerous.
Not everything. Do healthy things properly and don't win any Darwin awards.
lmao
Clicked because I can definitely eat 2 pounds of licorice candy, stayed because this is interesting af. Well delivered and educating!
I'm new to your videos.
I went to pharmacy school in 1983 and remember about 95% of what I learned 40 years ago.
I enjoy learning new things and have always been curious about the human body and how it works.
Thank you for doing these very fascinating videos.

It’s not a dong
Loves to insert water through his veins
@@chamber_hiro256 I know that's a joke, but hear me out. Injecting water would cause the water to rush into your comparatively salty red blood cells and explode them. My point is, depending on context, water is more dangerous than heroine.
@@ChemoshKamos And depending on dosage, of course, as well. Half a milligram likely won't kill you but large amounts will definitely take you out.

I want to say that your Clinical Death video was so good!
Hi Dr Rohin!
@Medlife Crisis I know he’s your hero. In that same relation; you’re one of mine.
Hello doc!
Not even a Z in that
Real licorice is famous in Germany and the Netherlands, but I've never seen any kind of warning on products about excessive consumption. They should really add that to the label. Most people don't like it enough to overeat though. It's a bit strange it's sold as candy and not a "medicine", because it also tastes like one.
I think the issue is that most foods that are nutrient dense in some way can cause these issues.
Moderation is key. And with nutritional labels people shouldn't be going over the RDI of anything let alone regularly.
We have real licorice in Australia too but like Germany it's seen as a sparing treat
The German packaging probably includes warnings! They even call it 'Erwachsenenlakritz'. The Dutch are just in denial of everything.
Licorice is popular in my country too and I thought it's common knowledge that you shouldn't eat excessive amounts of it. Like I think most people just know that it's not wise to have a lot of it probably without knowing exactly why. It's often reminded to ppl with high blood pressure etc to avoid licorice.
This channel stresses me out but I can’t stop watching 😅
Me at my medicine exam : Q13: What is hypokalemia?
Me: VP is a 46 year old man...
Q: If this vessel contains this liquid at this temperature what's the pressure at this point of the loop?
Me: Have you heard of the tragedy of Darth Palegius The Wise..?
Harris is way older than 46.
Presenting to the emergency room ☝
@@San_Deep2501 that would be too long of a story 😂
Hypo meaning low; kal-el meaning superman... what!?
"Don't end up on Chubbyemu!" is a real thing in our house when keeping the kids from getting into things they shouldn't.
I love it
This is good parenting 😂
LOL!!!
My mom would threaten super nanny
Nice, gonna tell my kids that too
Dr. Bernard, saving lives one video at a time🤗
I also enjoy your perfectly paced delivery.
"Can i have some licorice?"
"Only a spoonful"

god damn it xD

You are dead no big suprise.
No suprise there ya weeb
@@steve00alt70 huh
You wouldn't eat gummy vitamins like gummy candies would you?
Me: This sounds like something that happened on this channel before.
Yeah! That one kid who ate them like candy, had several hipervitaminosis, specially with vitamin A.
LMAO i thought the same
The link to the video popped up too lol
@@angiemrto , hey, at least that proves that they are actually putting the vitamins in those things and it's not a total scam, unlike some investigations have shown.
@@NickRoman Wait, wasn't the problem the fact that multivitamins are useless, not that they're a literal scam as in they don't contain multi-vitamins, but like still a scam because you don't really need them.
Imagine watching an episode of this everyday in high-school. We would have all been ready for the future.
I love learning new medical information from these videos. I already know all about the basic stuff like the emias and hypo and hyper, kidney and liver functions, etc.
However learning that unconscious people can't chew or swallow was a treat, always love learing new things!
"...While he was eating his lunch"
*A large bag of soft liquorice
Candy/sugar is a typical diet of heroin users. Most likely was still using drugs; especially being a construction worker
@@secret222 Yeah, I've heard that opioid users tends to eat more candies because somehow it makes you crave sugar, and because of that they become severely constipated (which is already a side effect for the drug in it's own) and would shit out painful bricks.
this channel is the definition of “everything is poison if you have enough”
no
Because thats how it is.
@@flowgangsemaudamartoz7062 exactly
@@flowgangsemaudamartoz7062 Yep. You can OD on water if you cram enough into your system.
It's actually toxic rather than poisonous. Anything in excess can become toxic like drinking water or fruit.
A poison is something harmful or deadly even in very small quantities.
I never knew licorice was a plant. Learn something new everyday, nice.
These videos are a great way to learn how to search for and identify medical issues. Scary as the stories are they're usually preventable, and watching these teaches you lots of things to look for if something's wrong.
"You wouldn't eat gummy vitamins like gummy candy" Well, I'm pretty sure I heard a story about that.
It's kinda common sense too.
Gummy bears make gummy bones
O
Gummy vitamin candy???
Saw the title, and was like: "Oh, this guy is gonna have some serious endocrine issues".
Unfortunately, I have Addison's disease and it took far too long to be diagnosed, so I got to experience all of these symptoms.
hope you're doing well!
@@chubbyemu Oh yeah, healthy, fit, and back up to 200lbs. I was 135lbs at diagnosis, down from 215lbs.

Classic case of hypercarrotemia
Can I like this comment more than once?
Glad I wasn't the only one that thought that
The moral of the story with MOST of Chubby Emu's stories is typically, "Moderation in all things".
Stay healthy my friends, and moderate what you put into your body.
Particularly heroin
Even ChubbyEmu's videos?
@@AzureFides Watching too many ChubbyEmu videos at once can cause anxietemia, anxiet meaning anxiety and emia meaning presence in blood
