Yes. I do.

I had forgotten about the point you just made. Here is all I know about that............

I know there are medical articles about grapefruit and statins so people who take statins and like grapefruit should ask their docs. I think the grapefruit effect may vary by amount and also may vary by the specific statin within that class of drugs. Certainly statin-users should check on the science with their doctors.

Thanks.
