Three ways grapefruit can kill you
Ғылым және технология
Did you know that grapefruit can be deadly as well as delicious? If you’re taking one of many types of medication, grapefruit could be the last thing you ever eat…
If you’re on any kind of prescription medication, it’s well worth reading more about this, or asking your doctor. Here are some links to get you started:

@@roopini95nadig I completely differ on this. The medicinal practices in each land originates/evolves based on their environment. The common problems the people face in that region, the availability of the medicinal resources in that region plays a major part in that. Its really stupid to claim everything under one. Even inside Tamilnadu, there are completely different siddha medicinal practices in the southern most part and everywhere else. If they all originate from a single source, then their approach would have been same. The medicinal practices would have originated from the day the humans started living in the caves. They are just the precautionary measures to extend their lives. In India the religion is business. So, they want to claim any good thing under their name. Don't propagate false info.

Unfortunately the genetics of citrus fruit is complicated, many of the fruit we don't think of as grapefruit (Or limes or pomelos) have grapefruit genes from hybridisation and produce the same chemicals that grapefruit does. Be very careful with all citrus fruit if you are on medication.

Have any of these scenarios ever happened? The graphs don’t show the full story, that being that almost all drugs have a much larger gap between the minimal therapeutic dose and the ld50, and what is prescribed is much much closer to the former than the latter.

Exactly how often this comes up is a subject for debate in the medical literature, but it’s definitely a recognised issue that it’s worth patients being aware of! It’s worth talking to your doctor if you’re on prescription medicine and enjoy grapefruit, though I suspect the number of deaths annually probably isn’t enormous! The graphs are obviously simplifications to help explain the concept, but some drugs do have quite a narrow therapeutic window. There’s plenty to read if you search for ‘grapefruit-drug interactions’. :)

@@jaiheira sweetie, for one, it’s rude to shout at people. Since you’re extremely old, I’ll explain that typing in ALL CAPS is shouting. It’s very bad to do that. Second, drugs literally keep me alive. As a Type 1 Diabetic, I’d be dead within three days if I stop insulin. Without other drugs, my neurological disease would have me un a wheelchair, unable to move. Third, fruit is not very healthy. It contains a high amount of fructose, which is very bad for the body. I’ve done vegetarian diets and I felt worse than I do when I eat a moderate amount of meat. Controlling my blood sugar is nearly impossible on a diet that consists entirely of carbs - which is what’s in fruits and vegetables. Lean protein and some fats help manage blood sugar. I’m sorry that you’re not educated, but you need to not give other people your terrible advice. May Satan keep you warm for eternity.

Just best advice, don’t eat grapefruit if you are using any type of medication. More so, just stay away from citrus fruits that are very acidic. There’s two categories of fruit: sweet and acidic. You don’t want to eat acidic fruits in the same time period that you are eating acidic fruits. It’s preferably safe to eat sweet fruits while you are taking medications since, like in the video, grapefruit(an acidic fruit) can prevent some molecules/etc in the stomach from breaking down the contents in the medication that you consumed which can/might cause your body to reach the ‘lethal’ dose

Ohhh so this is why my doctor told me to avoid eating too much grapefruit
Grapefruit actually INCREASES the amount of codeine that is metabolized into morphine as it inhibits the enzyme that affects the 90% that ISN'T converted into morphine and allows MORE of the codeine to be metabolized (as much as 30%), so if you took a 30mg codeine with grapefruit, you would get 6-9mg of morphine from it instead of 3mg.
