Yes: Eat your grapefruit at a different time of the day. One study suggested that you would need to drink 1 quart of grapefruit juice to have an effect, but just eat half to 1 grapefruit 6 hours or so before or after the statin. Healthy eating! Don’t forget to take co Q 10 as well every day you take statins
