    I knew I'd heard of taurine before but it took me a few moments to remember the context. It's the reason (or one of the reasons) why you can't feed a cat on a vegetarian diet - they can't make taurine from other amino acids so they have to get it from meat in their diet. Humans can apparently make it from other amino acids, but perhaps the research is showing that this isn't really enough for optimum health.

    Problem with living longer is that the extra years are all at the end. As Billy Connolly once said "the bastards don't tell you that" 😂

    Sitting in an A&E cubicle due to an Atrial fibrillation episode, one of the first questions medical staff asked was do I drink energy drinks. My answer was no. The doctor was chatty and said that a lot of youngsters who take these drinks are presenting in A&E with AF. 

    Imagine 100s/1000s of people of a certain age drinking these drinks, what with their blood thinning and heart pills. We'd be dropping like flies

    Now if I was a conspiracy theorist ..... :o  

    Might try eating a couple of turkey thighs every now an again though.
