It isn't true, don't worry. Really, it isn't. The so-called "flight-or-fight mode" is a natural response from the organism, in reaction to situations perceived by the person as threatening.

Did the article specify any example of why and exactly how that could be dangerous? They could be referring to something very specific. Also, always trust only idoneous sources.

Fight or flight is designed to keep you alive - it feels awful, but in the end there's no way it can hurt you in and of itself.
