It could be compared to you eating green apples, then taking a tablespoon of castor oil and a dose of salts.
Instant and thorough cleanout.

Interesting! I learned something today. Does anyone know why this is?

Do I know/ NO I have been told it is the carmelization of the sugar. Whatever it is, it gives them dysentery very badly.

Give them plain dry sugar. Easier to fix.
