And I guess there will be no effect if you eat grapefruits and continue having a wrong diet with saturated fats excesses, unhealthy food full of preservatives and oxidants. The change must come not with eating one fruit, but with a complex action, a mobilization and with will to succeed.

It's still a very good tip (to eat grapefruit) for those not taking meds.
