Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Grapefruit juice is a healthy juice but it is not necessarily "GOOD FOR HEP",, if you know what I mean,, it wont help your hep, it wont hurt your hep, so as long as you are not expecting it to fix your hep,, then ok.. samanthascott23 wrote: I have never drank it before, but I will if it is good for hepatitis!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Ok, now that you said that, I went and researched it and found this article,, is this what you are talking about??? Well it 'may' have some connection but I dont believe that there is any real proof that it does anything in the human body,, remember what they can do in a petri dish is different than what our human bodies do with stuff,, I think this is MORE RELATED to cholesterol too,, maybe I misread it, but it sounds like they are tieing this to chol and how that may help hep c,, Grapefruit Compound May Help Combat Hepatitis C Infection ScienceDaily (Feb. 4, 2008) — A compound that naturally occurs in grapefruit and other citrus fruits may be able to block the secretion of hepatitis C virus (HCV) from infected cells, a process required to maintain chronic infection. A team of researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Engineering in Medicine (MGH-CEM) report that HCV is bound to very low-density lipoprotein (vLDL, a so-called "bad" cholesterol) when it is secreted from liver cells and that the viral secretion required to pass infection to other cells may be blocked by the common flavonoid naringenin.
