If you drink energy drinks or take dietary supplements, you may have noticed taurine in the ingredient list. There are lots of claims flying around about the health benefits of taurine — but most need more research to back them up. And when taurine is mixed with other ingredients in energy drinks, that changes the risks and benefits. Here's what you need to know about taurine and your health.

Taurine is an amino acid that your body makes naturally, and you need it to function. It's important for lots of different body systems, including your muscles, brain, heart and eyes.

You can get taurine from animal foods like meat and fish. It's also found in breast milk and added to most infant formulas. And manufacturers make synthetic taurine to use as an ingredient in energy drinks and supplements.

Is Taurine Bad for You? Does It Have Side Effects?

Short-term use of taurine supplements seems to be safe, but more research is needed on its long-term use. Taking one to three grams a day of synthetic taurine doesn't seem to have harmful side effects — and you'll usually pee out excess taurine, anyway. (As always, ask your doctor before you start taking taurine or any other supplement.)

If you're talking about taurine in energy drinks, that's a different story. Energy drinks are often loaded with caffeine and other ingredients that can have harmful side effects. Most energy drinks come with a warning that pregnant women, children and people who are sensitive to caffeine shouldn't drink them.

And to avoid serious side effects, never mix energy drinks and alcohol. Combining a stimulant (energy drinks) and a depressant (alcohol) can lead to heart problems like an abnormal heart rate. It can also cause dehydration.

What Are the Health Benefits of Taurine?

Most adults don't need to take synthetic taurine, because your body usually makes all the taurine you need. But people with a taurine deficiency may need to take a taurine supplement. Just make sure to talk with your doctor before you start taking any supplements.

Studies have shown some possible health benefits of taking taurine, but most of these health claims need more research. Taurine supplements may have benefits for people with certain health conditions, like iron-deficiency anemia and congestive heart failure. For example, researchers think taurine may:

  • Help people with anemia absorb iron better
  • Make it easier for people with congestive heart failure to exercise
  • Lower blood pressure

Some researchers think that taurine may also enhance athletic performance in healthy adults. But there's not enough clear evidence for these benefits. And there's even less research about taurine as an ingredient in energy drinks. So take most health claims about taurine with a grain of salt.

Where Does Taurine Come From?

The taurine in energy drinks is synthetic. It's made by manufacturers and added to drinks and supplements.

You may have seen false claims on social media that the taurine in Red Bull comes from bull semen — but that's a myth. It's true that you can find taurine in bull semen and other animal products, but that's not where the taurine in energy drinks comes from.

The Takeaway: Taurine's Safe in Moderation — But Not a Cure-All

Taurine is generally safe and it may have benefits for people with some health conditions. We need more research to understand exactly how it works and who can benefit from supplements. If you take taurine, it's important to take it in moderation. And remember that energy drinks are often high in caffeine and other ingredients that may come with health risks.

Zl1 Problems

Zl1 Problems

To avoid any shred of deception, note that the most problematic year for the modern Camaro is its debut year of 2010. Since then the car has had a steady decline of problems according to Customer Complaints, though the car's rejuvenated run has had its fair share of recalls. Luckily recalls are all problems that Chevrolet has acknowledged and is obligated to fix.

Unfortunately, however, some of these customer complaints have gone unnoticed, despite their frequency. While a couple may be light inconveniences, there are others that exhibit a serious flaw in the car's ability to keep its occupants safe. Don't let this list deter you from buying an awesome new V8 Camaro.

8 Premature Timing Chain Wear (2010)

Via: Camaro5

Between 50-80,000 miles the 2010 Camaro's V6 will eat its timing chain and spew its remains all over the engine, most of the time resulting in just a timing chain replacement. Some owners have had their engine replaced, unfortunately out of warranty. This mileage means the cars started to break just a few years ago. Chevrolet has not acknowledged this problem yet but has been hit with class-action lawsuits in the past over excessive oil consumption, so there's hope for 2010 Camaro owners. Or they could just go get a ZL1.

7 Airbag Light Sensor Comes On (2011)

Via: Camaro6

The most common problem found on 2011 Camaros was that the passenger-side airbag light would stay on. Owners reported having it dealer-inspected, and were going to be charged $700 to fix, as the part itself costs $450. Unfortunately, most of these incidents were happening outside of the warranty, and Camaro owners are out for GM blood. After years of Chevrolet burying its head in the sand, it was finally hit with a class-action lawsuit. Apparently, Chevrolet knew about this problem but did nothing to fix it.

6 Car Shudders (2012)

Via: GM

Some hapless 2012 Camaro owners have reported a problem with their V6, where the car will shudder under hard acceleration, like joining a freeway. The problem seems to be occurring with only automatic transmissions, and at varying mileage. This presents very similar to a problem Ford had with its automatic transmissions that went into the 2011 Focus, which refunded affected customers for up to $2,325 in cash. A car's inability to reach appropriate speeds is dangerous, not only for the driver but for everyone else on the road. The Chevy V8s however don't seem to have this problem.

5 Electrical System Problem (2013)

Via: Camaro5

The NHTSA has logged dozens of customer complaints surrounding an issue where the AC and radio will suddenly stop working. With that, some owners have reported a loss of turn signals, and headlights not working. On average this problem occurs at about 44,000 miles, and for several cars, this issue has cropped up only in the last year after 130,000 miles in some cases. Other electrical issues plague this year Camaro as well, including the radio turning off in conjunction with applying the brake, fuses blowing and sentient CD players ejecting discs.

4 Owners May Bump The Ignition Key (2013)

Via: Youtube

Chevrolet acknowledged this very specific issue resides in all Camaros from 2010-2014. Owners have reported accidentally bumping the ignition key with their knees, causing the car to shut off, rendering the driver without power steering or brakes, or engine power. If this should happen prior to a crash, it's possible for the airbags to not deploy, according to the NHTSA. GM didn't acknowledge the issue until its 2014 evaluation of production vehicles was underway, but luckily the issue was recalled soon after.

3 Key Gets Stuck In Ignition Switch (2014)

Via: Repair Manual

Another issue that plagues the 2014 Camaro is the key getting stuck in the ignition. This issue does not discriminate between engines though, so every Camaro owner has a chance to experience this mishap. Some owners report fighting with the key for as long as 10 minutes before freeing it. This problem is apparent in cars equipped with automatic transmissions, after the faulty ignition key recall, where owners could accidentally bump the key from the "run" position. Luckily there is a fix in the form of a plunger at the bottom of the steering column, which unlocks the ignition key.

2 Transmission Problems (2017)

Via: Camaro5

These aren't wide-spread issues yet, as the car is still relatively on the new side. Some owners of 2017 Camaros are voicing their concerns over their automatic transmissions slipping a few gears. Chevrolet technicians are recommending fluid changes but to no avail. Other owners are reporting vibrations at RPMs as low as 1500, and once again technicians are changing fluids and refuse any further testing until the owner has driven 500 miles with the new fluid. Only a handful of owners have surfaced these issues, but they are something to be aware of.

1 Bad Pressure Plate (2018)

Via: Camaro5

Three years isn't really enough time to see any serious potential threats to driver's safety except in extreme cases, so once again this is something to watch out for. An owner of a 2018 Camaro with a 6.2-liter V8 mated to a manual transmission has raised the issue of their pressure plate getting stuck, and burning through the clutch disc. This could be driver error, but unlikely as the problem occurred at almost 5,000 miles, and Owners across forums are starting to report the same issue. Either way, the 2021 Camaro should fetch a better experience.

Car Review: 2017 Volvo S90 T6 Inscription

Volvo's S90 Inscription just might be the best sedan almost nobody is buying

Apr 10, 2017May 20, 20215 minute read Join the conversation
2017 Volvo S90
2017 Volvo S90

Everyone loves a comeback story. Whether it's baseball — the Cubs finally winning the World Series after, what, 427 years — or hockey — my dad's beloved Maple Loafs finally making the playoffs after years in the wilderness — we all loves stories of redemption. One could claim it's because we do so love those long-storied teams. You might even say it's their just reward after flailing so long in the athletic wilderness. But, if we're honest with ourselves, it's because the Comeback Kids always reflect our inner hope that we, too, will be able to stage a recovery if — actually, when — we find ourselves down in the dumps.

Thus am I relieved — and, if I am honest, a little surprised — that Volvo is staging such a ferocious resurgence. Though its travails weren't quite as long as the Cubbies' time in the doghouse — it was actually only 108 years but, if you live in Chicago, it felt like 427 — they were as intense. Previous owner Ford literally drained the Swedish company's engineering well dry, stealing all its best technology without funding much additional research. And most of us — that, again, would include me — didn't hold out much hope for Gothenburg's best when it was purchased by Geely. Chinese automakers hardly have a reputation for innovation and besides, Geely wasn't exactly the Big Daddy Warbucks all Chinese companies are painted to be. And yet …

Volvo has returned with a rush. On top of the S60 Polestar , which does a remarkable impression of a BMW M4, there's been the return of the XC90 , Volvo's award-winning SUV that was also the country's most profitable export – not the most profitable automotive export: the most profitable export, period.

2017 Volvo S90
2017 Volvo S90

Less noticed — in fact, judging by sales, far less noticed — is that Volvo has crafted a top-of-the-line luxury sedan on the same Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform. Essentially the same vehicle as the XC90 except shaped like a sedan, the S90 has been largely ignored — Volvo Canada sold but 127 in the seven months since it was introduced, while 1,513 XC90s flew out the door in the same period. More's the pity, for the S90 is truly a wonderful sedan, offering Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series luxury and performance with a decidedly Scandinavian slant.

First of all, there's the innovation. Volvo has gone on record as saying that, in pursuit of eco-friendliness, it will produce no motor with more than four pistons. Before you go dismissing four pistons as paltry, know this: Pretty much everyone is offering — or will soon offer — a four-cylinder engine in their luxury models, and Volvo's little four-banger is pretty special.

Like most little 2.0-litre fours these days, it's turbocharged, boosted forcefully enough that it boasts a healthy 316 horsepower at 5,700 rpm. But, and this is where that history of sometimes quirky innovation kicks in, it's also supercharged – the belt-driven supercharger filling in the low-rpm hole we all know as turbo lag. Combine the two and what you get is immediate response the millisecond you tip in the throttle, followed by a decidedly un-Volvo-like rush of power at high rpm as the turbocharger kicks in.

  1. First Drive: 2017 BMW 5 Series

    First Drive: 2017 BMW 5 Series

And fear not, oh ye devotees of pluralistic pistons, it even sounds luxurious – admittedly, not quite the soulful blat of a big V8 or the syncopated sophistication of a V12, but enticing nonetheless. And, whatever aural deficit having only four cylinders might engender is more than made up for by the 9.8 L/100 km fuel economy I averaged, about 30 to 40 per cent less than a typical gas-fuelled luxury sedan and, I might add, not the result of me being particularly gentle on the throttle.

The other bit of Scandinavian innovation that stands out is Volvo's Sensus infotainment system. Ever since the BMW 7 Series introduced us to iDrive — thank you soooo much, BMW — consumers have been looking for the automotive infotainment "tablet," as user-friendly as your everyday iPad.

We may be getting closer. Indeed, Sensus is very much tablet-oriented, not all that much different in its functionality from the iPads so ubiquitous now. It's touch sensitive, icon friendly and swipes both left and right to offer you different functions/views. The main page offers typical information — navigation, media, phone and messages — while the other two offer access to vehicle safety information and the copious apps. It is, in fact, so similar to our everyday experience that learning to operate Volvo's rendition of the "tablet" is about as difficult as transitioning from the aforementioned iPad to a Samsung Galaxy. The form is different, but the function remains familiar.

A few glitches remain — the navigation system could use a little help — but overall the experience is positive. And, unlike so many systems that aren't really that rewarding even once you get used to their idiosyncrasies, Sensus actually provides useful information. You can even transpose the navigation or media information to the 12.3-inch TFT gauge set in between the tachometer and speedometer.

As for the rest of the S90, it's more in line with what you might expect from Volvo. The styling, elegant and no longer boxy, is attractive. The interior, there being no other descriptor, is typically Scandinavian. Lighter, less ominous and just a little warmer than its German competition, the S90's cabin is no less luxurious – the leather exquisite and the wood trim authentic. If ruthless efficiency is your ideal decor, stick with the Germans; if you want something a tad more inviting, try sitting in the S90.

Indeed, if you're shopping the E-Class, A6 or even the redesigned 5 Series, there's just no reason to not visit a Volvo showroom. The S90 checks off all of the class prerequisites — all-wheel drive, a load-levelling adjustable suspension system, booming Bowers and Wilkins audio system and a host of electronic safety measures simply too long to list here — and throws in a modicum of stylistic uniqueness, an absolutely adorable interior and finishes it all off by costing thousands less than its competition (Volvo's suggested list price for the top-of-the-line Inscription model is $63,000). Only 26 Canadians may have bought an S90 so far this year, but they've been really, really smart Canadians.

The 2014 NHL Heritage Classic was an outdoor regular season National Hockey League (NHL) game held indoor, part of the Heritage Classic series of outdoor NHL ice hockey games in Canada. It took place on March 2, 2014, in BC Place in Vancouver, with the Ottawa Senators facing off against the home team Canucks.[1] It is the first "outdoor" game to be played in what technically is an indoor stadium, albeit one of a larger capacity than a typical NHL arena; BC Place is a retractable roof venue, and it is unknown if the stadium has the capabilities to keep its roof open during inclement weather (several stadiums of the type explicitly cannot be kept open in such an environment due to drainage concerns). The game was televised nationally in Canada on CBC and nationally in the United States on NBCSN.

It was announced hours before the game that the roof of BC Place would be closed for the duration of the game due to weather concerns.

The 2014 NHL Heritage Classic was also the last game to feature Roberto Luongo as a player for Vancouver.

Game summary [edit]

The rink inside BC Place before pregame warmups

March 2, 2014 Ottawa Senators 4–2 Vancouver Canucks BC Place Recap

The Canucks built a 2–0 lead in the first period with goals by Jason Garrison and Zack Kassian. The Senators then scored four unanswered goals by Clarke MacArthur, Erik Karlsson, Cody Ceci, and Colin Greening to win the game. The loss left Vancouver head coach John Tortorella answering questions during the post game press conference about why he started Eddie Lack in goal instead of regular starter Roberto Luongo.[2] Tortorella's decision was also unpopular with the crowd during the game as they booed Lack, while Luongo was also unhappy as he had been looking forward to that game all season.[3] [4] [5] Two days later on March 4, a day before the NHL trade deadline, Luongo was traded to the Florida Panthers.[6]

2010 Yamaha YZ85

The ideal choice for the next generation of champions.

The 2010 Yamaha YZ85 may be the smallest member of the Yamaha YZ family, but it is a big time competitor. It's got the power to win with a liquid-cooled, 85cc engine, 6-speed gearbox, and adjustable suspension up front and out back. This is one mighty mini.

The mini racer of choice.

Born from the award winning YZ competition bikes. The 2010 YZ85 features a liquid-cooled, 84.7cc crankcase reed-valve-inducted six-speed that is compact and light. You also get an ultra-rigid, single backbone, semi-double-cradle frame, fully adjustable suspension and more to suit a wide range of rider from novice to mini expert.

With the same chassis and engine technology that goes into every 2-stroke YZ, the scaled-down YZ85 is a true competitor.

The YZ85, with its ultra-rigid high-tensile steel frame and 36mm inverted forks, weighs just 55kg (126lbs.) Powered by a compact yet muscular liquid-cooled 85cc engine pumping the power through a six-speed gearbox, this bike's engineered to catch some major air — and trophies, too. Fully adjustable suspensions, front and rear disc brakes and almost 11″ of wheel travel highlight "for competition use only." Truly, this is full-sized performance in a scaled-down package.
