Grapefruit contains the compound bergamottin, which interacts with certain enzyme systems in the body, such as cytochrome P-450 and P-glycoprotein. These enzyme systems are responsible for breaking down statins - as well as other drugs - into more usable chemicals and that can be transported in the body.
Answer: That's a great question. Most pasta is vegan, but there are a few ingredients you do need to look out for with pastas. When you're buying pasta in stores, I recommend you get used to checking out the ingredients list. Most regular semolina white pasta and whole wheat pasta is vegan.
Best Answer: Honestly, it's difficult to be vegan when you don't own your own kitchen. I was vegan while living with my parents...a struggle. Now married and having my own kitchen makes it a lot easier! You have to be determined. Basically vegans do not eat animal products. Meat, dairy, eggs, or honey. Be careful for hidden animal products in breads, pasta, and sauces. Gelatin is generally from meat as well.
