Five Drugs You Should Never Mix With Certain Foods

You know that foods like kale and grapefruit are good for you. But if you’re taking certain medications these so-called healthy foods can actually trigger harmful reactions. In fact, when you mix certain foods with medications the interaction can be deadly.

Noted physician Dr. Pat Salber, the founder and editor-in-chief of The Doctor Weighs In Website, tells Newsmax Health about one example she experienced firsthand when she was working in the ER.

“I got a call from a patient who said she was on an MAO inhibitor for depression and had eaten a portion of aged cheese earlier in the evening,” Salber recalls.

“She was feeling a bit funny and wondered if she should come in to be checked.

"Recognizing a potentially very dangerous food reaction, we sent an ambulance but sadly, she had a hypertensive crisis and suffered a fatal stroke before they arrived.”
