Like Grapefruit . . . but have a bit of a problem eating them, due to the drugs you are taking? This writer has the same problem, and likes mushrooms too!
Besides the many blood pressure and heart tablets we take, the sometimes yearn for a juicy grapefruit at breakfast incites a cruelty streak wishing that research had now found away around this problem
Grapefruit has a compound in its structure that inhibits the liver enzymes your body needs, thus increasing the risk of drug side-effects.
New U.S. drug researchers have found edible mushrooms absorb the grapefruit compounds thus lessening drug interaction. Yellow Merell mushrooms were found by the researchers to be the most active mushrooms; a mask of 2/3rds mushroom to 1.7ouncees of grapefruit juice removed the compounds activity. Other edible mushrooms to prove reasonable success were oyster and red yeast varieties, also white button mushrooms.
However, just before you engage the grapefruit juices to the mouth, check with your Doctor first.!
