Drinking fruit juice dramatically reduces the effectiveness of drugs used to treat cancer, heart conditions and high blood pressure, scientists say.
Research has shown that orange, apple and grapefruit juice can also wipe out the benefits of some antibiotics and hay-fever pills.
It is thought the drinks stop drugs from entering the bloodstream and getting to work in the body - possibly rendering them useless.
The potential effects are so serious, researchers warned, that if in doubt, patients should swap fruit juices for water when on medication.

Drinking fruit juice nutralizes medications?
Somehow this article feels like something doctors will have to retract within a few years, when they regain their sanity. Otherwise, one must wonder how you are to get as many fruits and vegetables as are recommended for a healthy diet, if you can't have any juices while on medication.

I have known for a long time that grapefruit juice can negate the effects of one of the medications I take. I gave up grapefruit juice long before my eating plan told me how much of my daily allowance juices use up.
YanıtlaSilDoes the article address eating the whole fruits, or is just the fruit form the problem? It seems to be just the liquid, as they suggest drinking water instead.
The article only addresses the juice form. It appears (from reading between the lines) that if you eat the whole fruit then you are fine.
