BS. It reads as if the researchers were trying very, very hard to find a way to steer the blame from oral contraceptives.

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

What about pointed sticks?

I’m on Eliquis and IIRC I’m not supposed to eat grapefruit. I don’t, anyhow, but it seems that grapefruit and blood clots have a connection.

It slays me what “science” is discovering these days.

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

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

And she rode in a car for an hour and a half!

They do, but the reality is this woman was on oral contraceptives, which are a much greater concern. How about being on those for years? I think that weighs in much more than the grapefruit.

You don’t eat grapefruit, or its juice if you are on any blood thinner. Nor do you use CBDs - they have substances similar to grapefruit.

A GRAPEFRUIT WON OUT OVER AN OMELET IN ‘PUBLIC ENEMY’

But what “****may well have***” tipped the balance” is that she had been eating a grapefruit every morning under a weight-loss diet begun three days earlier, the report said.

Weasel words.

Might the same “well have” been caused by Safe and Effective, Inc.?

Balderdash... My mother ate grapefruit every day and died at 88.

I don’t know. So many variables. At my 70s I can’t relate to the oral contraceptives facet.

That’s fine. Chemicals don’t require your faith to operate.
