And while it’s definitely bad for dogs, it’s great for people, and there’s a lot of research out there about some surprising ways xylitol can help our health.

This is a new YouTube video report created by the SciShow, a popular channel that focuses on science news. The program is hosted by Hank Green along with a rotating cast of co-hosts.
