Thanks. I’ll retrieve my C jar from the back of the closet ... where I placed it a few years ago because of a report that it caused ... (Something not good. No longer remembering.)
N-acetylcysteine?
It’s readily available from many vendors. Just do a web search for: N-Acetyl-Cysteine or N-acetylcysteine.

Which foods have it?
They include Vitamin Pb for no extra charge.

the claim by everyone is that exercising and losing weight works to cure diseases brought on by obesity and yet very few actually do this.
Most people would rather buy into a claim that you can just take a pill and not even have to eat an orange for vitamin C.
Henry Scowcroft, senior information officer at Cancer Research UK, said despite the findings, the “overwhelming” evidence still pointed to vitamin C not being an effective treatment.
“This work is at a very early stage. There are many substances that have been shown to kill cancer cells in the lab, but failed to fulfill that promise when tested in people.
“But we do know that eating a healthy, balanced diet, including plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, is an effective way to reduce the risk of getting cancer in the first place.”

That's a good question and I don't know the answer. L-Cysteine is a nonessential amino acid and so should be present in some protein sources, but that's not, strictly speaking, NAC. I do know that NAC is an antioxidant and a precursor to glutathione. If you learn about some nutritional sources, please let me know.

Will do. Thanks.
Thank you for the link. The inforamtion appears to be interesting.
You’re welcome. Looks like eating eggs and meat is a good thing. I’ve just got to scale back my portions, as I am a woman whose portions are sometimes man-sized.) I am trying to get away from taking supplements and instead finding the foods that contain the healthful nutrients.
