Interesting study on rodent bedding

So i found a scientific article that suggest pine, cedar and care fresh are all equally healthy for mice. Not sure if this will be true for rats. Just wanted to share this and see some of your thoughts.
I was pretty surprised that cedar is also an acceptable bedding for rodents.:O

Here is the article:

Not true. Cedar is toxic to many animals; rodents included. I kept two mice (back when I had just two mouse girls) on cedar bedding for one week to help get rid of mites, and those two mice still suffer with breathing problems that they got from the cedar.

Pine, however, is completly safe if its kiln dried. Its the only bedding I use.

Could possibly the pine and cedar in the study have been kiln dried also?

Cedar remains toxic even after its kiln dried because it does not remove the pilcatic acid.

i know that cedar is toxic to mice and rats. that's why i was surprised by the result of the paper. You can check it out from the link. This study is also pretty current (published in 2010).

I also saw another article that said that when kiln dried pine are wet, it will also release aromatic compound just like regular pine. So that article suggest that kiln dried pine shavings are no better than regular pine shaving. However, that article was published a while, so i'm not sure if that is still credible.
