This is certainly true and a significant point I should have emphasized. A grapefruit’s potential to increase/decrease absorption of certain drugs can act as a positive or even negative depending on the person and type of drug. My general rule of thumb (and I certainly don’t have my MD…although sometimes I wish!) is to discuss any and all side effects with your doctor before taking medication or combining with another substance. Thanks again for reading and glad that you like grapefruit as much as I do!

The grapefruit is an excellent fruit. I think if you are going to write “This citrus is also said to increase the absorption of certain drugs.” It is necessary to point out that the citrus also decreases the absorption of certain drugs. It’s miss leading to only say the positive.
