    Yeah. The embalmers having been talking about this. Lot of blood clots. Because of fruit.

    She had four other known risk factors but they blame the grapefruit?

    Yeah, “fruit.” Is that what they’re calling it now?

    The physicians found she had taken a relatively long car journey, of about an hour and a half, the day before;
took a daily dose of oestrogen oral contraceptives;
and had a genetic variant, called the factor V Leiden mutation, which is linked to a blood-clot disorder.
Yep, but it was eating a grapefruit for breakfast over the last 3 days that did it.
Junk science. One case of a woman who had a genetic disorder that leads to blood clots.

    Yeah, all those athletes dying because they ate grapefruit three days in a row/sarc.

    Grapefruit can cause blindness. And winking.

    I love pink grapefruit but don’t eat it all the time. It reacts with some of my medications.

    Oh Banana Oil!
I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, had a grapefruit tree in my back yard. It is my favorite citrus fruit other than tangerines.
Yeah... it was the fruit... they’re really desperate.

    Eating three grapefruit in three days would lead to “many times” her usual level of estrogen?!?
They really are getting desperate.

    Amazing how that deadly Covid vaxx was able to cause clots 14 years ago!

    Grapefruit does react with certain medications and you will see warning labels. Three grapefruits in three days doesn’t seem like much.

    "Emergency doctors in Olympia, in the US Pacific coast state of Washington, treated the 42-year-old woman in November 2008 after she was admitted with shortness of breath, dizziness and difficulty walking." 
Why is an article dated 9/8/2022 reporting on a blood clot that happened to some woman in 2008? Do they think this article will make people believe the next clot they get is due to grapefruit instead of you-know-what? Are we now going to get bombarded by clot articles and blaming them on everything else?
