We got told off for talking about this in the Purchases Pictures thread data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7When you get over 50 data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 there is a chance you will be put on medication to control blood pressure or cholesterol.There is a chemical in grapefruit that blocks the break down of complex molecules, including your medicine.So in effect you can overdose on your medication as it isn't cleared from your system.
That is a very mature non hard sell response. Colour me impressed.

It's actually a valid point and well worth mentioning because that's the last thing I would think of in a beer. Not that I'm on any medication yet but none of us are getting any younger
Wait... do I need to know this?
My dad is on tons of medication - would be surprised if blood pressure wasn't in there - and he often consumes a grapefruit grapefruit juice for breakfast...
I assumed it was allergy - funnily enough on a flight the other day we were informed that someone on the plane had a citrus allergy and so we weren't allowed to be served or consume any citrus food on the flight.
Anything that's statin (atorvastatin, simvastatin etc - rosuvastatin is fine tho).
I looked up 'contrafoods' - just lists licorice and anything high in potassium.
