I hope it holds up (no paper yet, for example): there is a lot of grumbling in the paleo-dna community about methods and techniques and science by press conference. As one of them put it, "BREAKING: ancient DNA confirms Plantagenet Life Metabolised Arsenic."

On an unrelated note, hopefully this will also be true...
