Grapefruit might interact with some of these medications including lovastatin (Mevacor), simvastatin (Zocor), and atorvastatin (Lipitor), but grapefruit juice does not interact with some other medications used for lowering cholesterol including pravastatin (Pravachol), fluvastatin (Lescol), and rosuvastatin (Crestor).
âOh yeah, I eat fish.â. Confusion, perplexity and occasionally heated debate can follow as the âvegetarianâ and their interrogator cover the issue of what is an animal and whether fish feel pain. But the Vegetarian Society, which has acted as the custodian of British vegetarianism since 1847, has a simple definition. âA vegetarian does not eat any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish or crustacean, or slaughter byproducts,â it says. They can make that even more pithy: âWe donât eat dead things.â. The society tackles the issue of fish-eating vegetarians with a page headed in red capitals: âVEGETARIANS DO NOT EAT FISH.â.
Juliet Gellatley, director of the vegan and vegetarian group Viva, is also clear on the issue of whether fish eaters can use the term vegetarian. âThey cannot. The definition is very clear. Itâs someone who doesnât eat anything from a killed animal.
