Taurine, an ingredient in Red Bull...  email this discussion to a friend?

Kikotay (45) 2 years ago

I found this while reading about several facts online:

"Taurine is an ingredient in most energy drinks. Scientists first discovered Taurine in ox bile in 1827. The name 'taurine' actually references 'taurus', Latin for 'bull' or 'ox'."

This is what caught my eyes:
"Urban legends have suggested that the taurine in Red Bull comes from bull semen and bull urine. While it's true that taurine could be extracted from those sources, the taurine used from Red Bull and other energy drinks is synthetically produced."

Phew! Aren't you in someway glad for science and synthetics? Imagine there was none and finding out all the Red Bull or energy drinks you drank was secretions. I'd choke!

If you do manage to even go and purchase a Red Bull, I'm quite certain you've have forgotten the information already =D

Now, it's not only Red Bull, but other energy drinks as well. And yes, I am so glad, because I recently drank a can of Red Bull.

Something else being..?

It's good you don't really drink energy drinks. I'm assuming you're generally quite energetic.

Well, I hope that everyone who buys Red Bull or other 'energy drinks' that include Taurine now have an image of sucking/drinking bull's semen.

I once wondered why it was 'cool' to drink all of those energy drinks out of the can. It was only when I poured one into a glass that I realised that it looked AND TASTED just like pee!


Kikotay (45)  2 years ago

Tasted like pee? It tastes so sweet! It was like overload of sugar! Well, for Red Bull anyway.

Really? I thought it was just providing some energy to the body. How is it that it's bad for the body?
