What, does this mean I should be having energy drinks with taurine after all? XD
Keep in mind there has not been a randomized clinical trial and this is data from mice and monkeys ;)
And though I assume you are joking, some infos for anybody else interested: There have been studies on humans involving energy drinks, which showed bad results, driving up blood pressure, reducing blood flow in the brain, as well as possibly increasing the risk of fatal heart rhythms.

Sources can be found on this page too. :)
Yes, I was joking. :)
I try to keep my energy drink consumption down. It's hard sometimes, I have ADHD and when the meds don't do the trick, more caffeine is the go to...
I understand, though perhaps other sources of caffeine might be more advisable, like coffee or green/white tea, especially the latter having great health benefits. But of course you have to see what works for you. :)
