Replying to jimmythegreek1 · thoughts u/MisterYouAreSoDumb ? Was just going to buy your new TAU supp.

The issue is that many people talk about things with a level of certainly that I don't think is appropriate, given the available scientific data. Uridine is certainly involved in cancer, and plays a role in tumorigenesis
