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?

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.

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.

"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?

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

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!

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

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.

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.?
