Grapefruit diet 'put leg at risk'

Just when you thought it was good to eat fruit.
"A woman who went on an intense grapefruit-based diet developed a blood clot in her leg and risked losing the limb, US doctors have reported...

Medics concluded grapefruit had affected the way the 42-year-old's body processed her contraceptive pill...

Three days before falling ill, she had begun a crash diet which included eating 225g of grapefruit each morning, after rarely eating the fruit in the past."
This amount of grapefruit is a mere 1/2 pound.

This is the equivalent of eating one 3-3/4" diameter grapefruit daily for 3 days.

A grapefruit a day, makes the doctor say "Hooray!"
