Story at-a-glance
  • Taurine, a common ingredient in energy drinks, was found to fuel the growth of leukemia cells by activating a powerful growth switch called mTOR
  • In animal studies, blocking taurine’s entry into leukemia cells dramatically slowed disease progression and extended survival by up to sixfold
  • Taurine supports healthy aging in animals, but too much, especially from synthetic sources, poses serious risks if cancer is already present
  • The same compound that helps your cells stay young is hijacked by cancer, making the source, dose, and context important
  • The safest way to use taurine is through whole foods like grass fed beef and pastured eggs; avoid overdoing supplements and skip energy drinks, especially if you’re at risk for leukemia
