Mark's list is good.

I'm not always trusting of Wiki, however, their listing is a good one. They did a good breakdown compared to some of the sites I usually visit.

Its important to watch food interactions with medications, especially Grapefruit, since some of these drug interactions can lead to rhabdomyolysis which isn't something anyone wants to see or have.
