Should energy drink fans be worried? Not necessarily. The study didnβt 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.
Oof. I drink a lot of energy drink.
I think the taurine is the least of your concerns with regard to that.
The green glowing skin is starting to get a bit concerning however.

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 lastβ¦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
