Based on the information provided, there is no evidence to suggest that Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, affects all types of fruit. Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a type of statin that works by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol [1].
Fruits, on the other hand, are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and are part of a healthy diet [2]. There is no known interaction between Lipitor and the nutrients found in fruits.
It is important to note that certain medications, including Lipitor, can interact with grapefruit and grapefruit juice, potentially leading to increased levels of the medication in the body and an increased risk of side effects [1]. However, this interaction is specific to grapefruit and does not extend to other types of fruit.
In conclusion, based on the available information, Lipitor does not affect all types of fruit. However, individuals taking Lipitor should avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice due to the potential for an interaction [1][2].
