Does Taurine cause Cancer?

I can't imagine how it would, since it's an essential metabolite in humans. I recall that there was
some speculation that bile acids, one of which (taurocholic acid) contains a taurine moeity, might
be cancer-promoters in large amounts, but that's somewhat different, and in any case the speculation
was that the steroid moeity, rather than the amino-acid one, was responsible for the effect.

No, although I recall that it might be a "marker" in certain types of cancer. It also has shown some
promise as an adjuvant:
