Warning: Grapefruit can interact with drugs, such as decreasing the effectiveness of estradiol, making Oxycodone last longer, increasing blood levels when on Viagra, and much more.
Grapefruit inhibits multiple enzymes in the small intestine, most notably CYP3A4. CYP3A4 is involved in the breaking down of a lot of drugs, so when it's inhibited Oxycodone becomes inactive slower, and estradiol won't break down all the way into estrogen. Drugs that are affected by grapefruit will often have warnings on their packaging
Personally, I like putting just a little bit of salt on my grapefruit, to counteract the bitter flavor. Dumping sugar on it doesn't help. Grapefruits are about half as sour as lemons, since they have half the citric acid content.
Grapefruits were accidentally created as a cross between the sweet orange and the pomelo, in Barbados. Those fruits originate from Asia, but were brought to the Caribbean in the 17th century. Since it's parent fruits are native to Asia, it grows well in Asia too.
and 
(China and Vietnam) are the two largest producers of Grapefruits, producing collectively 6.3 million tons out of the 9.8 million tons of worldwide production.

The lemon things with all of the recipes was really cool, but to be honest I just like grapefruit raw, cut in half and ate with a spoon.

Oh guess hexbear finally refedded while I wasn't paying attention. Had a bunch of stuff I wanted to post over the past month but not really anything rn.
Overall life update is stuff's been going good but I'm pretty busy with school so haven't been super active online. Did get a job and housing secure for the next year so I don't need to be as frantic or overwork myself like I had to last year.
Had a really nice day out to play pool at a bar on Saturday with some friends, went out in a full lolita coord and even got to wear heels for the first time. I actually really like them, it was just a bit over a 1 inch heel but I find them actually very natural to walk in, even running felt pretty good. The ones I have aren't super high quality but given my size I don't really have much choice for lolita shoes lol (I'm literally the biggest size this brand even offers and they're the only lolita shoe brand I've found that does my size, even for custom orders). While I was out I also made plans to go clothes shopping with a friend I've not seen in a while after exams, got some tips on where to go for cute haircuts, and got like a dozen compliments on my outfit as per usual. I'm starting to be known around town for my fashion lmao.

Also got hit on a ton by some guys which was pretty uncomfortable. I tried to mostly ignore it and just stay silent but it still took a minute for them to get the message.Overall though it was a nice night out, though pretty draining too since it was like 7 hours.
