Default Grapefruit and (Rx) medications

Here's some interesting information I read in the May 2013 Good
Housekeeping magazine about eating - or rather best not to eat!! -
grapefruit with more than 80+ prescription (Rx) medications that some
folks here in RFC might find interesting and useful.

"Talk about a sour mix: One report lists more than 85 drugs that
interact badly with the breakfast favorite, 43 of them dangerously so.
(The same problem can arise with limes, Seville oranges, and pomelos.)
And it’s a myth that you’ll be OK if you eat only a small amount or wait
to take your pills. The list includes cholesterol drugs, sedatives,
antibiotics, and more, as well as safe alternatives. It’s quite
technical, so you may want to show it to your M.D."

AND, for the list of the many specific Rx medications:

Folks might want to learn and share this information with their loved
ones and friends. HTH.
