It is extremely dangerous for dogs - their bodies still read it as a sugar and pump out insulin and cause them to go into shock - at least that is what I recall from what I heard.
It is however handy for humans - works well in mouth washes, homemade toothpastes, and nasal sprays - one just needs to be careful not to leave it where dogs can get it The news thing I saw indicated dogs most often get it out of women's purses - gums, candies, etc. Women tend to put purses on the floor right at dog nose level.
