.. I take meds that grapefruit in any form
interferes with so can't eat that citrus and it has always been a
favorite.

Don't get too bent on this, ongoing research is now stating that if it
augments the effect, why are we telling you not to do it. Current research
is trying to make a standardized pill to give with smaller doses of drug to
get the same effect. Go figure.

Anyway; unless your liver enzymes are elevated now, enjoy a half a fresh
grapefruit 2-3 times a week without fear. If you are drinking a quart or
more of juice daily, yeah, be a teeny bit concerned. Usually with statins
your muscles will let you know if they are not happy with current therapy.
Liver tests will also sound alarm before any harm would come to you.

Sorry I can't cite any specific article, just get this skimming journals
over the past few months.
