Coenzyme Q10 (domofutu.substack.com)
Every once in a while, I like to pump the brakes and apply some skeptical pressure to my supplement stack. Blind faith may work wonders for televangelists, but when it comes to health supplements, skepticism is the only saint worth venerating. And the latest bottle to feel the heat of scrutiny? Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).

Cigarette smoking: an underused tool in high-performance endurance training (nlm.nih.gov)
The review paper is a staple of medical literature and, when well executed by an expert in the field, can provide a summary of literature that generates useful recommendations and new conceptualizations of a topic. However, if research results are selectively chosen, a review has the potential to create a convincing argument for a faulty hypothesis. Improper correlation or extrapolation of data can result in dangerously flawed conclusions.
