excessive taurine is most likely bad for you, based on my observations. taurine is the main ingredient of bile in your digestive system. bile is stored in the gallbaldder. i know two different YOUNG people with a 3x+ a day Monster habit that had to have their gallbladders removed.
i'm usually one of the first skeptics when i hear stories/information like this. if i hadn't seen it happen to two people i wouldn't give it much credit. and i know two people is hardly a decent sample size, but still.
Monster has quite a bit more taurine than most other energy drinks that i am familiar with.

Oh I wasnt arguing with you. There are alot of supplements out today and in the past that seemed great at the time but probably weren't or aren't the best thing to use in high doses or at all. Hell I saw the powdered caffeine and thought wow then I read the safe dosage and realized there was no way for me to effectively use it and also read about deaths linked to it. I was one of those who used Ephedra/Ephedrine in large doses back before they banned it. So I know how companies can claim something is safe but we find out years later its not the best thing for you.
Guess only time will tell.
