Hi everyone!

 

I read a HealthDay News report that I thought would be of interest mainly to
juice-drinking list members. I also posted about it on my blog.

 

In a nutshell, new research shows that grapefruit juice is not the only type
of juice that interferes with the absorption of some drugs. Apple and orange
juice and possibly others may have the same effect. In fact, all these
juices may LOWER the absorption of certain medications. Not good. There is a
list of medications on the HealthDay News website, by the way:

be best to take your pills with a glass of cool water, not hot, "because
your stomach empties cool water faster, sending the medication on its way to
the small intestine and finally the blood stream." Interesting report.
