Grapefruit Juice Helps Fight Cancer

A daily glass of grapefruit juice could help boost the effect of an anti-cancer drug in some patients.

A new study found eight ounces of grapefruit juice helps slow the body's metabolism of a drug called Sirolimus, which treats some types of cancer.

The juice would allow patients to take a lower dose of the drug, helping them avoid unpleasant side effects and reducing the cost of the medication.
