C2 H7 NO3 S

tl;dr its bull bile

 

[rebshel]

so then its kinda like menudo, which people eat all the time....

It's an amino acid in bulls. I think in humans amino acids break down fats and other stuff so I can't imagine it is much different in bulls...

 

[AdrianP]

no, taurine is not bull bile, it is found in bull bile, but is separated from the other elements in bile (which i didnt bother to read what they were).

so youre not drinking bile, youre drinking an ingredient in bile. if that makes any sense at all.

 

[Nikka]

taurine = ta-urine.

i believe it's pretty evident it's the urine of the ta.


fa sho.

damn bull biles amazing!

Yea, because the FDA would totally allow a company to put bull semen and bull throw up in a drink for the public.

FDA, and there has been worse things in food products. Crushed insects for food coloring is somewhat common. As long as it's deemed safe, it can be used.

TLDR- "Taurine is named after the Latin taurus, which means bull or ox, as it was first isolated from ox bile in 1827 by Austrian scientists Friedrich Tiedemann and Leopold Gmelin"
