It is not harmful at all but can cause occasional diarrhoea and gastrointestinal upset. I would recommend NOT to give it as it is not beneficial and does not add anything special if diet is already balanced and complete. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
