Is there such a big problem with eating fruit? Who could have predicted this? For example, Mr. You consumes grapefruit and common drugs at the same time. The side effects of the drugs will cause damage to the muscles, and the ingredients in the grapefruit are inhibiting drug metabolism enzymes in the body. This way, the damage to the muscles is doubled.
When Mr. You's striated muscle is destroyed and disintegrated. He himself may not have noticed that apart from being weak and weak, his urine has become darker! Fortunately, it came early, otherwise it would be possible to die if it delayed again and again!
