Yes, I read this.  I wonder if it's why my Dad had such a bad reaction to Beta Blockers.  He eats grapefruit every day.

I bought 1 yesterday, in the skin  ::) - I can't find a list of medications which grapefruit may react with, I pressed 'table 1' but it didn't do what I expected!

It is well known that it interacts with BP meds, my daughter always gets warned about that at consultations, I think you have to eat it frequently not just a one of for any effect
