While the overall picture of citrus is pretty rosy, there are a few potential downsides.

👉High Amounts Could Cause Cavities.

Eating lots of citrus fruits or juices could increase the risk of cavities. That’s because the acid in citrus fruits erodes tooth enamel.

This is a particular risk if you sip on lemon water all day long, bathing your teeth in acid.

Interestingly, certain compounds in citrus peels may combat the bacteria that cause dental cavities, although more research is needed to see how that information could be used.

👉Grapefruit Can Interact With Certain Medications.

Eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice can be a problem if you take certain medications.

There’s an enzyme in your gut that reduces the absorption of certain medications. Furanocoumarin, a chemical in grapefruit, binds to this enzyme and keeps it from working properly.

As a result, your body absorbs more medication than it’s supposed to.

Furanocoumarin is also found in tangelos and Seville oranges (the kind used for marmalade).

There are several prescription and over-the-counter drugs that are affected by grapefruit, including :

1. Some statins, for high cholesterol, including Lipitor and Zocor.

2. Some calcium channel blockers, for high blood pressure, including Plendil and Procardia.

3. Cyclosporine, an immunosuppressant drug.

4. Some Benzodiazepines, including Valium, Halcion and Versed.

5. Other medications, including Allegra, Zoloft and Buspar.
