I am only using 4 oz of unsweetened Ruby Red juice a day.

So far I am safe medically (I stopped using my diltiazem).

There is a paper out there showing grapefruit eaten before meals increases insulin receptor sensitivity.

http://www.liebertonline.com/doi/abs.../jmf.2006.9.49

In the book however, he says 3 oz of fresh squeezed unsweetened lemon juice lowered blood sugar peaks by 10%.

On the show, it was changed to grapefruit. (book had already gone to press).

All citrus has been implicated in having reactions with drugs however. But grapefruit has the largest effect I guess.

He also tested vinegar and apple cider vinegar and neither had any effect on blood sugar levels.
