Drinking orange juice can make common drugs almost useless

[Mrs Behavin]

Drinking fruit juice dramatically reduces the effectiveness of drugs used to treat cancer, heart conditions and high blood pressure, scientists say.
Research has shown that orange, apple and grapefruit juice can also wipe out the benefits of some antibiotics and hay-fever pills.
It is thought the drinks stop drugs from entering the bloodstream and getting to work in the body - possibly rendering them useless.
The potential effects are so serious, researchers warned, that if in doubt, patients should swap fruit juices for water when on medication.

I have heard of people drinking so much orange juice to get rid of drugs they've used like cocaine and shit, apparently it clears it all out so they'll pass a drug test, but imagine the pain when they sit on the toilet!!
