In other settings, taurine has been associated with reduced inflammation and improved cardiovascular function. But as this study shows, context matters. What benefits the immune system in one scenario may be exploited by cancer in another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rethinking Supplementation and Future Therapies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While these findings are early-stage and based on animal models, they’re making us look into the growing trend of high-dose supplementation. Fitness enthusiasts and energy drink consumers often take taurine without considering how it might affect long-term health, especially if cancer risk is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scientists are now investigating whether taurine-blocking therapies could be developed to slow or disrupt leukemia progression. If further research confirms its role in human leukemia, it could shift both dietary advice and treatment protocols.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
