she had been eating a grapefruit every morning under a weight-loss diet begun three days earlier

Yeah. Fruit. For THREE WHOLE Fxxxxxx DAYS.

Sure it was the grapefruit. And I'm Queen Elizabeth II.

They're not stupid ... They think we are.

[devere]

Grapefruit has been known for a long time to interact with a number of drugs.

[tiki]

I bet she drink water everyday too. Such risky behavior.

[nascarnation]

Yes and oral contraceptives and clots have a long established relationship also.

[Ciexyz]

for years and there’s a notification on the bottle to avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice.

[Larry Lucido]

Conquistador was good, too.

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

Journalism helps the government manipulate society by withholding coverage of some things.
Journalism helps the government manipulate society by covering things that the government wants in front of the people.

If journalists are telling us that grapefruit caused a blood clot in 2008, there is probably a reason for this news to be in front of the people.
And the reason may be tied to journalism's reluctance to provide coverage of the COVID vaccine's recent proclivity to cause blood clots.

That is correct, but this sort of claim is entirely new, all too convenient, and less than credible, however.

[sonova]

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

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well she ate it THREE days in a row!

[riri]

Grasping now.

They're not stupid ... They think we are.

That pretty much defines the entire situation we're in today.

[fwdude]

I'm not an advocate of eating a single type of food daily long term anyway, but this report is just stupid.

The biggest ad fallacy I can remember is the "Oatmeal every day" campaign. Awful!

[Red Badger]

I eat Oatmeal, .......well, ....like......never.................................

[fwdude]

I’ll eat oatmeal maybe twice a month, and only the steel cut whole oats, not those pasty, highly-processed flakes that Quaker always pushes.

It makes a good substitute for spackling compound if you need to repair your sheetrock..................

It reacts with her statin.

I have basically zero HDL cholesterol as a result of a genetic fluke (XYY).

After bad reaction to crestor, my wife switched me to 1g of old fashioned niacin 2x day (so 2g). Aside from the very unpleasant flush it gives, it worked wonders in my numbers.

I’m seeing a drug advertised with a warning about eating grapefruit while taking it.

[Boogieman]

“Eating three grapefruit in three days would lead to “many times” her usual level of estrogen?!?”

Perhaps not normally, but the story also says she was taking estrogen-based birth control pills. So she already had an artificially high level, and the grapefruit stopped her body’s enzymes from breaking down the excess estrogen.

[9YearLurker]

Still don’t buy it.

Sorry.
