Drinking your dog’s pee does not have any proven health benefits - C C - Jun 22, 2018

EXCERPT: . . . It is not certain whether Lew actually drank dog urine or whether the whole video is a fake. The cup is hidden for some time behind the dog and captured from a poor camera angle. Nonetheless, promoting such activities as science is completely and utterly bogus. To be honest, we don’t really want to give this woman any more media attention but felt it our journalistic duty to remind the public that no, drinking your dog’s pee does not have any proven health benefits. None. Whatsoever. So don’t do it.

They don't want to give her "any more media attention", but they apparently did want the clickbait.
Anyone dumb enough to drink dog urine is a prime candidate for a Darwin award. A PSA is completely unnecessary for anyone likely to actually read it.
