RALEIGH – De-Yu Xie, professor of plant and microbial biology at NCSU who earlier this week suggested a diet of green tea, grapes and dark chocolate could help prevent COVID-19, on Wednesday stressed that his recommendations were “not a substitute” for coming vaccines or other preventive measures such as face masks. “People congratulated me that a report was published about my interview from WRAL,” Xie said. “A person emailed our department to accuse me that I do not support vaccines and I am not responsible for the pandemic.” That led him to issue a statement about his research and also to note the paper – published Nov.
