Grapefruit disrupts metabolism by Cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver. They are widely involved in drug metabolism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytochrome_P450

Doesn't it interact with... I can't remember if it was ecstasy or some normal medicine

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Only thing that came to mind was diabetics can't usually have grapefruit. Is the joke that redbull enjoyers are diabetic? 🤔

He's gonna get the juice everywhere though!

A quality axe can cut grapefruit without mess, the big concern is keeping the axe clean. Grapefruit is hell on non-stainless metals.

I mean that lists off acetaminophen… and it says all citrus juices can do it, so don’t drink juice at all then?

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Def drink grapefruit juice if you're taking e. The extra vitamins help a ton and it'll extend the high.

Also reduces the toxicity from the metabolites your body makes while processing it. Pretty convenient with all the other good ways they interact

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lots of answers but I think the explicit joke here is that grapefruit doesn't work with certain types of antidepressant medications, which redbull's clients are presumably on.

I thought it was the "girl" part since most women of reproductive age are on hormonal contraceptives.

@Kolanaki @GreenDust

2 minute sci-show answer why it isn't a good idea to mix certain medications & grapefruit.

Enzymes in grapeftuit can cause some medications in a safe dose to become too effective often in dangerous ways.

Are any of those drugs in Redbull, tho?

[–] GreenDust@lemmings.world 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The implication here is that a consumer who is inclined to drink Redbull is likely the type of person who suffers from an affliction for which they are prescribed some sort of mood-regulating medication, many of which negatively synergize with grapefruit enzymes.
