There are so much discussion about mixing cholesterol drug with grapefruit or grapefruit juice. When someone asks about this question in a newsgroup like this one, there are so many replies. However, we usually never get straight explanations from our own doctors, or even from the companies that make the products... except warning and warning from the pharmacy, that you cannot use the medication and drink grapefruit juice at the same time. PERIOD. No further explanation. Is there scientific explanation? Is it possible that this is all just a commercial gimmick? Perhaps grapefruit has similar chemical contents like those of the cholesterol drugs. Therefore, you can only use one over the other. Of course, the pharmaceutical companies doesn't want people to know that, because it is cheaper to buy, drink grapefruit juice, or eat grapefruit than buying those overpriced drugs. Can someone put a light on this... again? Does grapefruit have the ability to loose weight? Perhaps there is a connection between grapefruit, loosing weight and reducing cholesterol? Are those cholesterol drugs (secretly) made of grapefruit? Just curious... ie. in this age and time... you cannot trust information sources that you get from the proper authorities any longer! They had been abusing their knowledges for too long!
