Taken from the results:

 

"NAC users had a significantly higher incidence of osteoarthritis (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.42, P < .001) than did NAC nonusers. Also, in analyses stratified by age group and sex, all subgroups exhibited a significantly higher incidence of knee osteoarthritis (P < .0001) among NAC users than among NAC nonusers. The use of oral NAC was associated with nearly four-fold increased the risk of knee OA in the young age group."

 

 

 

Yet then it says this:

 

"NAC was found to have protective effects against oxidative stress in many organs. According to experimental and tissue culture studies, NAC is effective in clearing free-oxygen radicals, slowing the cartilage degradation process, reducing synovial inflammation, and reducing pain."
