This really is a fun thread...I hope it "lives" for awhile longer with more replies. I don't know about everyone else, but I thought about my best performers, and then "tossed" some away becaused my 6-plant garden would be too shrubby, or too viney, etc., so I tried to get some different types of plants (tree, shrub, "vine", etc) and then pick a winner for each one. It's an interesting challenge to imagine gardening with just these six plants. Thanks for tallying up the votes, Sam. Take care, Grant

Steve, you post your name with some of your other forum posts, we know who you are :-) Josh, I am not aware that there is an issue with Lisinopril, I have not heard that, but your pharmacist will know for sure. They all have databases that will display drug to drug and drug to food interactions, so it's a pretty easy look up for your pharmacist :-) http://www.drugs.com/pro/lisinopril.html#LINK_1754ea7e-5d5f-4c74-84a3-505cf7c41015 Keith, it has absolutely nothing to do with diruresis (grapefruits do not illicite diuresis, this is an old wive's tale). It has to do with a chemical called furanocoumarin (or bergmottin), which is found in grapefruits and pummelos, and to some lesser degree, their respective hybrids. This chemical blocks the enzyme cytochrome P450 3A4, used to metabolize many drugs. If the enzyme is blocked, the drug can quickly reach toxic levels in the blood stream. Here is a list of some of the more commonly prescribed medications that can be affected by furanocoumarin, but this is not an EXHAUSTIVE LIST. Please check with your pharmacist and your doctor, to make sure you're not taking a drug that has an interaction with ANY food (including milk, licorice, and kale for example), they are always in the best position to be able to advice you. These are SOME the drugs that have a known issue with furanocoumarin: A-C Alfentanil (oral) Amiodarone Apixaban Atorvastatin Buspirone Clopidogrel Crizotinib Cyclosporine D-F Darifenacin Dasatinib Dextromethorphan Domperidone Dronedarone Eplerenone Erlotinib Erythromycin Everolimus Felodipine Fentanyl (oral) Fesoterodine H-P Halofantrine Ketamine (oral) Latatinib Lovastatin Lurasidone Maraviroc Nifedipine Nilotinib Oxycodone P-Z Pazopanib Pimozide Primaquine Quinine Quetiapine Quinidine Rilpivirine Rivaroxaban Silodosin Simvastatin Sirolimus Solifenacin Sunitinib Tacrolimus Tamsulosin Ticagrelor Triazolam Vandetanib Venurafenib Verapamil Ziprasidone Again - bottom line - talk with your doctor and your pharmacist about whether or not your medications you take interact with grapefruits, pummelos or their hybrids, OR any other foods, just to be safe.
