Tonight, a rare treat for me; grapefruit juice!

And not the sappy sweet Texas pink grapefruit; No. I'm having the white grapefruit juice, full strength, no sugar!

Yay!

1. Did the Republicans redefine the word 'treat' when I wasn't paying attention?

2. Why not drink it more often?

It's comparatively cheap to OJ and widely available in supermarkets.

6. Simvastatin - Cholesterol blocking medication

Grapefruit, for some bizarre reason, interacts with this drug and can cause an overdose.

No other citrus has this effect.

14. Yeah, it does that with several meds I am on. I miss grapefruit juice and Fresca. :^(

Nice and tart, ummmm.

11. If I'm trying, I'm not doing a very good job

After all, today is Cinco de Mayo!

By rights, you should already be under the table!

5. It's my favorite juice by far and I can't drink it because of one of the meds I take.

8. I just got permission from my doc to drop the medication for 3 months!

After dropping 30 lbs from 205 to 175, my doc is letting me go off simvastatin for three months, to see if my diet and exercise are enough to control my cholesterol. If it works, I can kick the medication forever! :bounce:

9. Love love love grapefruit.

I'm glad you're able to have it tonight! I have to be cautious with it too :(

13. I tasted that for the first time last year.

My immediate reaction: that is vile! Blech!

16. Different palates

mine craves for bitter, salty, and sour.

15. Every morning I have a small glass of grapefruit juice. I like it better

than orange juice.
I just finished mine now.
After I start on blood sugar tests, then I can test for cholesterol. I hope I don't have to give up grapefruit juice.

17. I crave grapefruit

I eat half of one every day in season -- don't dare to eat more than that. Delicious.
