Grapefruit: Interactions with Drugs, Other Sources of Lycopene, Better Prostate Protection
Share| Recent Customer Question – Grapefruit and Interactions with Medications * Neither of us can eat grapefruit due to conflicts with medication. I see it’s coming up on menu plan. I understand that we could substitute another fruit equivalent to 2C, but am wondering if you have any specific recommendations that may include some of the micronutrients we’d be missing in the grapefruit?

Share| Dried Edamame and Dry Roasted Soy Nuts Attached is a picture of these products to help you in your search. Dried edamame and dry roasted soy nuts are typically sold in the bulk or ‘healthy snacks’ sections of grocery stores. Oddly, sometimes not together. At Whole Foods – Minneapolis, I find dried edamame by the snacks and dry roasted soy nuts by bulk.
