I'm on 2 teaspoons a day.

Any studies out there about the negative effects of it?

Is Marmite poisoning a thing?

What would Americans know of the dangers of Marmite? I'm sure the British Heart Foundation have said that Marmite is perfectly safe at any amount. I'd provide facts, but I don't need to.

Good point, the LD50 of Marmite for non-UK people is 1mg

Half that if you're an overdramatic YouTuber.

I don't think America has an equivalent, so I think they'd find it too strongly flavoured, as they do with Vegemite

I think the problem that ‘merkins have with Marmite is that it doesn’t contain 95% sugar.

If it doesn’t give you diabetes then really, what’s the point?
