This is not a Joke. There is no punch line.

The Cholesterol Drugs Zocor,Simvastatin and Lipitor can not be mixed with Grapefruit juice. This can cause Life Threatening complications.

The problem is grapefruit contains a chemical that inactivates a liver enzyme involved in drug metabolism. as a result this can lead to a Muscle problems and Kidney problems. in short...You can Die.

Mark thanks for the important info. I passed it along to Yaya but I don't think she remembers. Maybe Helen or someone in Conn. could explain it again and remind her.
