It's an ingredient that's already banned from cosmetics because it's believed to be a carcinogen, but it remains legal in certain candies including one that is a long-time Missouri favorite during the Easter season. Could it be that people are unknowingly enjoying a secret killer?
One of your favorite candies could be in jeopardy. There has been a movement to ban it because of an ingredient that has been connected to cancer, but will Peeps really be banned in Missouri and other states in 2024? There is an update.
I saw an anonymous question asked by someone in Missouri. They saw someone share a graphic on social media claiming that black licorice can kill you and they wanted to know if it's true. The answer surprisingly is yes, but it's complicated.
