I made a post like this a while ago, but every single rat care or rat breeding or ANYTHING that has to do with pet rats at all, ALWAYS says "DO NOT USE PINE!"

I use pine, and it's not even the "pet" bedding. It's used for animals, but not small animals like rats. I've been using since the summer of last year and I have not had any problems at all with it. No respitory infections, breathing problems, babies dying, nothing.

My question is, what is the big deal? I mean really? I know a lot of people on here use pine, whats your experiences with it? Heres the link to the website that had the title in it:
