Grapefruit Is One of the Weirdest Fruits on the Planet

quote [ But in the presence of grapefruit, without those cytochrome P450s, you’re not getting 10 percent of that drug. You’re getting 100 percent. You’re overdosing. ]

These grapefruit warnings are on medication here, but the article is pretty entertaining. Well ok, maybe trying a bit too hard to be funny.

"The United States produces more grapefruit than any other country, from Florida and now California as well..." Wrong...

If you know squat about grapefruit, you know that the Rio Grande Valley in Texas and Mexico produces what's regarded as the best grapefruit in the world. And if you've tasted them, you know they blow Florida and California grapefruit away.

2020 production in Texas (which excludes the sizeable production just across the river in Tamaulipas is higher than Florida, and a lot higher than California.
