Although all of the studies I used are linked throughout the newsletters, here’s a collection for anyone who wants to look at the studies themselves. It’s important to note that I may have misinterpreted a study or missed important information, so for those who are interested in fact checking and examining the studies themselves you can do so!

I have been told to avoid supplementing with quercetin if I smoke or have smoked cigarettes. It can develop lung cancer. Any info I can read on this?
