Grapefruit Juice, White
Grapefruit juice, the good and the bad.
Drinking up to a liter of grapefruit juice daily can help block the formation of kidney cysts (stones).
Problems arise because the fruit can interfere with the enzymes that break down (metabolize) medication in your digestive system. As a result, certain medications may stay in your body for too short or too long a time, leading to toxic shock or ineffectiveness. Check with your doctor, please!
These medicines are used to:
- Fight infection
- Reduce cholesterol
- Treat high blood pressure
- Treat heart problems
- Prevent organ rejection in transplant recipients
