??? Is it safe. Will it give me cancer ??? :)

RNA is or has been a supplement. But I know nothing about it.

There are many many uses for supplemental RNA. I won't post everything because it will take up too much space hehe. But here are some examples >
Therapeutic Uses of Supplemental RNA
Aging Process
Supplemental RNA possibly counteracts the progression of the Aging Process (this is speculated on the basis that the Brain’s levels of RNA decline in tandem with the Aging Process).
Supplemental RNA may possess Life Extension properties.Detoxification
Supplemental RNA may reduce the side effects associated with Alcoholism.
Digestive SystemSupplemental RNA (2,000 - 3,000 mg per day) may accelerate the healing of the Ulcers in the Colon that contribute to Ulcerative Colitis.
Eyes/Vision
Supplemental RNA may be useful for the treatment of Glaucoma.
Supplemental RNA may improve vision in Retinitis Pigmentosa patients.Immune System
Supplemental RNA may increase the life expectancy of Cancer patients and may exert anti-Cancer activity.
Supplemental RNA may enhance the proliferation of Lymphocytes:
- Supplemental RNA may stimulate the production of Helper T-Cells.
Supplemental RNA may enhance the function of the Immune System.
Supplemental RNA may accelerate the recovery from Surgery.
MetabolismSupplemental RNA possesses Antioxidant properties.
Supplemental RNA may increase Energy levels. references
Supplemental RNA may be useful for the treatment of Hypothyroidism. referencesNervous System
Supplemental RNA (administered by injection to increase bioavailability) may improve the Mental Function of Alzheimer's Disease patients.
The quantity of RNA stored in the Brain decreases in tandem with the Aging Process.
Supplemental RNA may improve some aspects of human Intelligence and Mental Function.RNA may improve Learning ability (decreased RNA concentrations in the Brain after the age of 40 are associated with impaired Learning ability - supplemental RNA may counteract this impairment.
RNA is believed to be the molecule responsible for the storage of Memory and there is some evidence that supplemental RNA may improve Memory.
Respiratory SystemSupplemental RNA may improve the condition of Emphysema patients.
Skin
RNA (applied topically or 500 – 5,000 mg per day administered orally) may facilitate the growth of new Skin and may exert various anti-aging effects on the Skin:
- Anecdotal reports testify that the use of 1,000 mg of oral supplemental RNA per day improves the visual appearance (especially the smoothness) of Skin (topically applied RNA in skin creams may also achieve this effect).
RNA (500 – 5,000 mg per day consumed orally) may remove Liver Spots.
RNA (applied topically) may help to reduce the appearance of Wrinkles.
Supplemental RNA is broken down (metabolized) within the body to its constituent Purines (Adenine and Guanine) and Pyrimidines (Cytosine and Uracil). These constituents are then reasembled within the body to form “new” Ribonucleic Acid and Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA).Basically when we ingest food, the RNA and DNA is assimilated and broken down by our bodies to use in various processes.

I'm so clueless....I thought RNA and DNA were the fundamental building blocks of life.....! You know, genes and all that....Oh well.

So this is or isn't going to give me cancer?
I was interested since I heard that it was a source of uridine, which supposedly potentiates the effects of omega-3.

RNA/DNA are purines which are richly found in dark meats(beef, deer, sardines, salmon, etc...), as well as organ meats(liver). It's the main offender that gives people gout for people that are prone to it. So if you look up the "gout diet" you can find all the foods that are high in purines.
On the plus side it is a natural stimulant that increases the sympathetic nervous system which is helpful for apathetic, anhedonic, tired depressives. It is also satiating which is helpful for people that are prone to always being hungry.
If you read a number of metabolic typing books as well as chinese medicine it outlines the theory of high/low purine diets and it's effects on health, and a little on mood.
There are is more info on the effects on mood on pubmed/medline.
