From the article: “When grapefruit juice blocks the enzyme, it’s easier for the medication to pass from your gut to your bloodstream.”

Now it makes sense when I would read about Hunter S. Thompson ordering supplies for his parties. “Okay - I need two cases of Tequila, a trained monkey with a parrot and a crate of grapefruit.”
