Grapefruit juice, will it throw me out of ketosis?

[SlavikHavik]

I was considering taking some grapefruit juice to increase the effectiveness of my anavar

Will it throw me out of ketosis?

I "think" it would. Juice is usually very high in sugars thus being high in carbs.

Yes. It has fructose, one if the worst sugars you can consume because it fills your liver glycogen stores before replenishing your muscle glycogen stores.

ESPECIALLY BENZO'S (Valium, Xanax, etc.) and Anti-histimines (seldane, etc.). Changes the way your body metabolizes some drugs...

Taken from an article I found:
Grapefruit is healthy. It has many nutrients such as the antioxidant lycopene. But grapefruit does interact with some medications.

Researchers first discovered an interaction between grapefruit juice and the drugs felodipine (Plendil) and nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia), which are used to treat cardiovascular disease. Later studies showed that grapefruit juice alters the blood levels of many other drugs as well.

Grapefruit juice is unique among juices from citrus fruits. Chemicals in grapefruit interfere with certain enzymes that break down certain drugs in your intestinal tract and liver. This can result in higher-than-desired blood levels of the drug and an increased risk of serious side effects.

The exact chemical or chemicals in grapefruit juice that cause this interaction aren't known. But these chemicals are present in the pulp and peel of grapefruit as well as in the juice. For this reason, any grapefruit product — including dietary supplements that contain grapefruit bioflavonoids — can interact with these medications. You may also want to avoid tangelos, a hybrid grapefruit. They may have a similar effect.

Drugs that are known to have potentially serious interactions with grapefruit products include:

Antiseizure drugs such as carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Tegretol)
Antidepressants such as buspirone (BuSpar), clomipramine (Anafranil) and sertraline (Zoloft)
Benzodiazepines such as diazepam (Valium) and triazolam (Halcion)
Calcium channel blockers such as felodipine (Plendil), nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia, nimodipine (Nimotop), nisoldipine (Sular) and possibly verapamil (Isoptin, Verelan)
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors such as saquinavir (Fortovase, Invirase) and indinavir (Crixivan)
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors such as simvastatin (Zocor), lovastatin (Mevacor) and atorvastatin (Lipitor)
Immunosuppressant drugs such as cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune), tacrolimus (Prograf) and sirolimus (Rapamune)
Antiarrhythmic drugs such as amiodarone (Cordarone)
Even waiting to take these medications up to 24 hours after you drink grapefruit juice doesn't prevent an interaction. The best advice is to avoid grapefruit products if you take any of these drugs, unless your doctor or pharmacist approves.

Also, I thought most grapefruit juice was like 2.5g carbs per cup.
