Solution to Grapefruit/Grapefruit juice/List of drugs affected by grapefruit

It seems like we have three articles on the same fundamental point - grapefruit juice acts on certain CYP enzymes.

I propose that we eliminate "grapefruit juice" and "list of drugs affected by grapefruit" entirely (redirect to grapefruit), since they revolve entirely around the CYP inhibition effect. Instead of those pages, we can have a brief note in the main grapefruit article about the CYP interactions. That way a reader can follow the link to CYP3A4 or whatever if they want specific information about that.

This way, people who want to know about grapefruits can get relevant information in the article. The article is about grapefruits, not about enzyme/drug interactions - a mere note that it will occur, a brief warning for consumers, and a link to the appropriate articles should suffice. CYP3A4 adequately covers the information expressed in grapefruit juice/list of drugs affected, and does so under a more appropriate title.

Any thoughts, suggestions? My primary concern is that we have multiple articles with the same information, and that we could condense this information and put it into more appropriate articles. 129.170.202.243 07:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good plan to me DodgeK 11:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the link to drug interactions is sort of subtle, whereas it is an interesting piece of information that might be mentioned so I put in a little piece of text att he end. Please remove if appropriate. Alex Morgan 23:42, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved

I just merged content from here to there. See the talk page there for details. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:15, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Any Reliable Sources

Are there any reliable sources for this drink?

Merge?

Is this article even necessary? there's already a grapefruit page which says pretty much the same thing. How 'bout a merger? Thoughts?72.78.165.148 (talk) 13:12, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Holy Men?

Does the statement at the beginning of the article about certain civilisations "having Holy Men who survived on Grapefruit Juice alone" need a citation? Seems like an odd thing to have uncited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobitha (talk • contribs) 01:04, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
