A year ago there was an article saying taurine was great for longevity. Now they say it promotes leukemia, too.

A guy on X did a good job of debunking that article. 

 

Let's look at the ACTUAL study published in Nature before everyone gets completely hysterical. 
 
1. It focused specifically on MYELOID LEUKEMIA in mice, not humans or other cancers 
 
2. The research primarily looked at endogenous taurine PRODUCED WITHIN BONE MARROW, not supplemental taurine 
 
3. The study was a pre-existing disease model -- it used mice that ALREADY HAD LEUKEMIA or were genetically modified to develop it 
 
4. Many of the experiments involved GENETIC DELETION of taurine transporters... not exactly the same as taking or avoiding a supplement
