Taurine:
An amino acid that is NOT used by the body for protein synthesis.
It is only available in animal products mainly meat and fish.
Has many important functions and not the least for a proper functioning retina! It has anti-arititmic heart] as well as anticonvulsive effects
Also of importance in fatty liver and liver cirrhosis
Breast milk is high in taurine.
Cats on artificial food will need taurine otherwise they may develop retina degeneration..
I send a photo of cat food [we have plenty at home as my wife takes with love care of probably all the cats on rehov ha-teena [our street] with some other cat lovers….] You will see the word taurine stressed on the bag!
Back to us: I think that all vegans /vegetarians probably also, should take a supplement of taurine
If you are a vegan and think this is not true, let me know, please. I take myself every day 1 to 2 grams of taurine without food
A lack of taurine may also cause problems with fat digestion and as said before cardiac arrhythmia/.

Abstract
The taurine content in Chinese food, including seafood, freshwater fish, meats and some plants, was examined in this study. Seafood was freshly collected from 4 coastal areas in China. Meat and plant food samples were obtained from food markets. The highest concentration of taurine was found in crustaceans and molluses (300-800 mg per 100 g edible portion). The amount of taurine in fish was variable. Beef, pork and lamb contained taurine in concentrations ranging from 30-160 mg per 100 g. The daily taurine intake of representative Chinese men (18-45 years old, 60 kg body weight, light physical activity) was also studied in 1990 as a part of the Total Diet Study. Representative food samples were collected from 12 provinces in 4 areas of China. Samples were then combined and cooked according to food categories (meat, seafood, vegetables, etc) The combined meat and seafood samples were analyzed for taurine. The daily taurine intake of a standard man in the 4 areas was calculated based on the amount of food intake obtained from the dietary survey and the taurine concentration in the analyzed food samples. The result showed that the daily taurine intake of a standard Chinese man in the 4 different test areas ranged from 34 to 80 mg per day.
