Grapefruits and Birth Control

Hearing all the benefits of grapefruits has really got me hooked on them! But you may have heard that they don't mix with medications. A few googles later and it turns out that any estrogen based birth control is definitely not advised to be combined with the grapefruit lifestyle.

Grapefruit inhibits the breakdown of estrogen and so it can actually form into blood clots, as if that wasn't already a risk! Also, the risk of breast cancer can also be increased with this combination.

According to livestrong.com it is not likely that a random grapefruit here and there will have an impact.

But just please keep this in mind, to the ladies that are on birth control or any other medications for that matter. Do your research to avoid any interactions!
