I love when I read through ingredients and see sugar in various forms. "this has water, sugar, sugar, citric acid, more stuff, ohh and did I mention sugar"
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.
Thank you.
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.
Man I remember there was an iPhone jailbreak called Taurine
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.
"I bring you love."
It's bringing love! Don't let it get away!
Agreeable taste, some monsterism.
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
