defensive and uncharitable comments..
Not common sense that grapefruit interacts with many meds. Signal to noise is important, but grapefruit interacts with enough to be notable. Someone would become aware that would've otherwise been ignorant:

Even this thread itself raised some awareness, so thanks
- giantg2 4y agoThe real question is if this thread (or proposal) raised awareness that wouldn't otherwise occur for the target population via existing consultation and literature.
- tailspin2019 4y agoCompletely agree.
- tsimionescu 4y agoIf the prescribing physician is not informing you of important interactions and you are relying on random internet threads or food labeling (especially for food you normally consume) to notify you, then you are already doomed. Medicine, especially prescription medicine, often has terrible interactions with many commonly used substances. On the other hand, warning are useless when they are unspecific and appear on something you regularly consume. You will at best notice a warning label on a package 2-3 times in your entire life, assuming you use that regularly, and even then you will immediately forget unless it is very specific to you (such as a peanut warning for someone with a peanut allergy).
