The Surprising Anti-Aging Benefits of an Energy Drink Ingredient: Taurine

Al-Marsad Newspaper: A recent study revealed “unexpected” benefits in a compound found in energy drinks, which doctors warn against consuming regularly.

According to the British newspaper “The Guardian”, scientists from the University of Columbia, USA, said that clinical experiments they conducted on mice and monkeys proved that the substance “taurine” found in energy drinks slowed aging in these rodents and mammals, and gave them a healthier life.

The researchers found that levels of “taurine” decrease significantly with age, but raising it boosted the health of the mice and prolonged their lives, in their experiment.

Study leader Dr Vijay Yadav said: “Taurine abundance decreases with age, and reversing this decline causes animals to live longer and healthier lives. These results could be true for humans as well.”
