sometimes I think the stereotype of Americans being overweight and slovenly is an exaggeration, but then I see shit like this.

It’s literally a joke about how grapefruit interacts poorly with medications, but ok.

It’s lovely when someone shows their inability to stop and think by making blatantly mindless comments.

It’s lovely because it’s absolutely hilarious.

I can’t decide if this is a grapefruit hating joke or an “in this economy?” joke
Show threadickplantFeb 22
It’s a “everyone is on some sort of antidepressant “ joke, at least to me.

Oh does grapefruit affect? That sounds right now that I know that.

Affects a lot of medications, not just antidepressants.

A lot of psychoactive medicines will literally just kill you if you eat grapefruit lol.

In the one medication I know about, grapefruit prevents your body from filtering the medication out of your blood, eventually causing the levels in your blood to become lethal

Well at least my activated charcoal doesn’t affect anything.

It doesn’t affect anything, right?

On the topic of drug interactions, make sure you are not taking Allegra for allergies. Oh, wait – you said activated charcoal? Nevermind.
