Fruit juices 'stop drugs from working properly'
Article in the Telegraph
Extracts:
"Grapefruit, orange and apple juice can block the absorption of certain drugs meaning patients are not getting the full benefit of their treatment, according to new research."
"To date, grapefruit, orange and apple juices have been shown to lower the absorption of etoposide, an anticancer agent; certain beta blockers used to treat high blood pressure and prevent heart attacks; cyclosporine, a drug taken to prevent rejection of transplanted organs; and certain antibiotics."

Purple grape juice, cloudy apple juice, cranberry juice, pomegranate juice - good for your heart
Purple grape juice 'best against heart disease'
Extract:
"Drinking purple grape or cloudy apple juice reduces the risk of heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer's more than orange, grapefruit or pineapple juice, scientists say.
Researchers who have carried out the first comprehensive analysis of the antioxidant content of fruit juices concluded some varieties have substantially greater health benefits than others.
The scientists from the University of Glasgow studied 13 different brands of fruit juices from a local supermarket, measuring the number and overall levels of polyphenols - antioxidants that reduce the production of harmful chemicals called free radicals.
The top five juices for polyphenol content were Welch's Purple Grape. Copella Cloudy Apple, Tropicana Tropical Fruit, Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Drink and Pomegreat Pomegranate Juice Drink.
The drink with the lowest polyphenol content was Tesco's Own Brand White Grape."
