I used to work with a guy a long time ago that used to drink at least five cans of monster drinks every day

Don’t body builders use a lot of taurine?

More,and more I’m seeing negative stories about supplements come out. A lot of folks push supp,iments online, claiming to be health gurus, but there is a very real possibi,ity that being unstudied the way they are, some supplements might be really bad for certain people- but you don’t see the self professed gurus issuing warnings. For instance, one supp.iment might be good for a certain thing, but u beknownst to gurus, i5 might also interact with certain mods, or affect certain health conditions negatively. Folks read the blogs and think that because it’s a natural supplement that it must be OK. But really, no real research has gone into the safety of some of them.

I lost count of how many thousands of dollars I spent “chasing health”- 2ho knows what famage I might have done not knowing the risks of “natural” products?

I take taurine supplements daily.

Taurine is very well regarded and considered to be safe in the longevity community.

This sounds like a tiny part of the population has a gene out of joint. Or maybe the drink itself creates some curious interactions.

So we’re not supposed to eat meat or fish—or is it hyper-concentrated in these drinks I can’t imagine consuming anyway?

Folks, this study only says taurine is a problem if you already have leukemia cells.

Taurine has been shown to be good for other cancers and conditions.

A simple question that we should all ask is whether whatever we’re consuming was being eaten by humans 10,000 years ago. If not, we should careful!

I can proudly say I’ve NEVER had a single “energy drink.” There’s something about the whole concept that really turns me off. Water, coffee, and milk for me with a very occasional lemonade or, even less frequently, Gatorade. I try to keep it natural.

In my experience big pharma has been trying to get vitamins and supplements to go away since at least the late 1980s.

Especially now with their jabs being exposed and who know what other malfeasance we can expect another wave of these gaslighting studies.

For those watching the push to get the plebes off meat note : Taurine is in meat, seafood, dairy and yes the dreaded egg.

So transparent and lame.

Interesting as it is considered an essential ingredient in cat food.

Wonder if too much of it contributes to cancer in cats, too.

Lemme guess, you need to drink 10 gallons a day to get enough compound to cause an issue. Meanwhile your heart is likely to object long before then.

I think the majority of those energy drinks are loaded with caffeine. I've tried a couple and they made me feel like I had just drunk a pot of coffee. I don't drink any of them anymore.
