I was taking taurine 1000 mg per day but stopped when I heard a plausible link to colon cancer. Having a strong family history, it wasn't worth the risk.

Eagerly awaiting the results of this trial: https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.2024.42.16_suppl.TPS363...

Uncertain though how they will separate the effects of the taurine from all the other stuff including sugar that is contained in energy drinks.

I think this is a hard theory to pin down as it might depend on how much taurine producing bacteria an individual has in their gut B. wadsworthia, so two people could have very different outcomes while taking the same amount of taurine.
