That's very true. It said it can cause liver damage and low blood sugar, so what ever those symtoms are I suppose. But you are right, there is so little information that I wonder if it is true.

I would think being on AOL News that it wouldn't be a prank or Urban Legand, and they did give names, "Researchers Sharon Gwaltney-Brant and Eric Dunayer with staff at a poison unit of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Urbana, Illinois", and the report was published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. But who goes out to read that?

But I agree with you, after further reading I can see it is poor science reporting.
