My book has random unwanted hypelinks

TerryBook

I converted my book created in word to EPUB for ease of reading and as i read I notice some random words in my EPUB document were Blue, meaning that they were hyperlinked to a URL.
I used Zotero to create a bibliography and it works great for that. But i did not intentionally add url hyperlinks to a few key words in my book.

Can anyone tell me how or why Zotero added these hyperlinks to random words in my book?

Do you see the hyperlinks if you open the file outside of Zotero?
How did you convert the word file to EPUB?
Can you show a screenshot of these words in blue?
Can you reproduce the problem in a simple file with only a few words and citations?

Though generally speaking I'd recommend unlinking citations in a (copy of a) document before converting to PDF, ePub, etc.
