I'm just curious about why you are posting this information on this
newsgroup.  Do you think most people who read it will understand the
possible dietary connections?  Why not tell us what point you are
trying to make here?  Taurine has anti-stressor properties, and you are
on the right track, but if you don't explain your point, few will even
read this, let alone understand it.  Why not tell people when they
should eat foods high in taurine, for example?  Or do you think taurine
supplementation is indicated in certain cases?  Interestingly, this
kind of study is supportive on what I've posted on this NG about
so-called "AIDS" - at least the idea that the harmless HIV virus does
something that nobody can detect, that somehow kills people in one of
30 different ways (all of which are independent illnessess in their own
right) an indeterminate amount of time later (which the "experts" tell
us has changed dramatically since the early days, even though there is
absolutely no reason why, according to their way of explaining it all),
in a way that is inconsistent with everything know about viruses up to
this point in history, and for no apparent reason.  It's all about
stress.  When your cells are stressed, certain substances are secreted
or metabolized.  These substances can be very dangerous, which is why
there is so much focus on chronic inflammation these days.  There was
an entire Charlie Rose show devoted to it, in fact.
