I prefer to check studies over articles because usually the evidence for negative effects is usually very weak to nearly nonexistent to downright misleading. There's also a big difference between not thoroughly studied/endorsed and found to be negative in studies. Especially on herbs that have been safely used for thousands of years. Just because no one's bothered blowing large amounts of money on modern long term safety studies doesn't mean they're going to be harmful like random untested brand new chemicals would be. Most studies that do check safety find no significant dangers with almost all herbs.
I especially loved the "fenugreek interaction with diabetes medication" bit. Ya, it interacts positively and runs the risk of making it too effective and making you need less diabetes medication. There's a small risk of accidental overdose I suppose but it's hard to pull off; it takes quite a lot. Always check the studies and find the details of what they're really talking about in context. In articles check the references to studies and be wary of anything that doesn't even have references.
