It's tough for me to answer this question because I think each individual is different and everyone reacts to things in different ways. However, there has been research that addresses both of your concerns and studies have shown that in certain situations grapefruit can interact with medications as well as your blood. Your best best is to ALWAYS talk with your doctor about any concerns you may have. That said, I eat a grapefruit every morning and it has never interfered with any medications I take.<br />Hope that helps! Hi Amanda

About grapefruits, I have heard that grapefruits can be dangerous if you are taking certain medications. Most recently I have heard that it can interact with oral contraceptives and can increase your changes of blood clots. Can you touch on who should maybe avoid grapefruit?
