First of all: in mice. Second: what are the negative impacts of alternative treatments? Not clear what the level of impact is in humans and what the real trade-off is between better mental clarity when young/middle-aged vs. higher risk of cancer in old age. In the end we all die of something. NAC is widely consumed, if it was a significant carcinogen you would think the effect would have been detected.

The study is at the level of cells, so 'in mice' doesn't seem inappropriate. But yes, this is one study and I'm not a medical researcher. This is merely one study I happen to know about; I'd rather mention it than not. If thinking about consuming NAC, please do your own research.
