Ingredient Found In Many Energy Drinks Linked To Aggressive Cancer In New Study
It's taurine and imo it should go on the headline.
aint it the core ingredient?
Yep, with the mg content prominently advertised on the can along with caffeine
Yes:

The whole thing is clickbaity, they conclude that there's nothing to worry about.
The study is about how the body produces taurine and the leukamia feeds on that.
The article title and it's contents are bullshit. It gets to the one line of truth where it states there's no link that tourine from energy drinks makes the cancer grow more, or causes cancer.
The entire thing is that tourine (naturally made in your body) is used by leukemia cancer cells as a fuel source, and that preventing tourine from going into the cancer cells halts its growth.
Thank you.
Man I remember there was an iPhone jailbreak called Taurine
Should energy drink fans be worried? Not necessarily. The study didn’t test taurine from drinks or supplements, only how the body produces and uses it during leukemia.
It's an interesting read. There's no cause for alarm, we're just finding out how leukemia cells feed themselves. It specifically calls out that drinks and supplements given to chemo patients specifically include it to help with side effects, but those with leukemia specifically might want to check in with their doctor to discuss this new study.
Yeah I'm going to wait on a bit more science for this one....

Ok pal. 👌
Cancer loves the sugar too. Easy energy for whatever cells in the body want to use it.
Some people drink these daily, like with every bad habit. Just use it in moderation, and you're fine.
Death is the enemy. The first enemy and the last…The enemy always wins.
I thought this was going to be poetic
"The first and last enemy ... is time. And time always wins. "
This is actually from GoT. I like time better myself and that was my first thought. But said hey....throw some fanfare lol
