Why You Should Eat Grapefruit after Drinking Tea, According to a Scientist

I really like grapefruit juice.

Although, grapefruit consumption can be problematic if you are using certain medicines - www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/medicines/does-grapefruit-affect-my-medicine/#Statins

In the late 1990s a number of 'hay-fever remedies containing the drug terfenadine' were removed from chemist shelves and made prescription-only medicines. One of the reasons for this was the way grapefruit juice interacted with the drug - www.independent.co.uk/news/hayfever-drug-taken-off-sale-1269259.html

Given the choice I drink grapefruit juice although getting the 'tropicana pink' around here is like trying to buy rocking horse sh*t!

I agree with ACR that grapefruit juice is well known for reacting with certain medications/tablets.

My first thought when I saw this chat topic was that the person coming up with these innovations certainly has a lot of time of their hands that could be put to better use?

Warned off grapefruit because it interferes with lots of medications by real doctors!!

Not the biggest fan of grapefruit and not sure i want the caffeine effects to last longer but it’s a good piece of information to know

Interesting theory.Worth a try I suppose.I seldom if ever fancy grapefruit after a cuppa tho.

Thanks all for replying, i rarely take grapefruit myself but was not aware of the way it reacts with medication

I only knew if eaten a lot it can strip the enamel from uour teeth due to the acidity
