Answers:

Urea is a nitrogen-containing compound that is manufactured in the liver. All animals produce nitrogen by-products as a result of the degradation of proteins (amino acids contain nitrogen atoms). Ammonia is highly toxic by itself, so most animals, with the exception of aquatic animals, which simply excrete large volumes of dilute ammonia, need to convert the ammonia to a less toxic form. Urea is about 10,000 times less toxic to the body than pure ammonia. Although urea is also toxic, it can be tolerated to a much higher degree.

I have read about some of the potential uses of urea, especially in treating liver cancer. The idea is that while urea is generally in low concentrations throughout the body, it is in much higher concentration in the liver, where it can have a potentially anti-tumor effect. The liver is a very resilient organ: some estimate that as much as 90% of a liver can regenerate itself, and thus the toxicity of urea can be well tolerated (or so the theory goes).

Urea is a highly powerful antioxidant, although it is not yet clear if this has anything to do with the supposed effect on cancer cells. In high concentrations, urea can form kidney stones, a particularly significant problem for those suffering from gout. In no way should you assume that ingesting urea has no side-effects. It is a toxic substance.
