I have researched the topic of vitamins, diet and supplements to the smallest detail over the last year.
I have read dozens and dozens of books on these topics and spent countless hours on the internet doing further research.
I have made my own extensive notes on the topic trying to make some sense of all the advice (which by the way is often frustratingly contradictory in nature) as I have tried to find some common threads in the advice that is given by different authors and experts. Some of these authors know what they are talking about whilst other authors/experts are just quacks.
I have made a very clear reference in my own notes that potassium supplements MAY cause depression. I think my note probably refers to potassium SUPPLEMENTS and NOT to food sources of potassium.
I am too tired now to delve any deeper into the original source of my note but the note has been made and I would not have made such a note without having obtained this information from somewhere. I'm going to bed now and will try to locate the original source of my note over the weekend.
I'll then also be in a position to say whether my information was legitimate advice or merely the advice of a quack.
I'll get back to you.
