An ip-anon editor added this to the article:
- The spanish for grapefruit a pomelo. I wonder what they call a pomelo?
I removed it from the article and placed it here on the Talk page instead. I do not know whether or not it is true. Anyone? --AStanhope 02:28, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
-I used Google language tools, and it seems that Grapefruit in Spanish is really "pomelo". However, Google could not come up with a Spanish word for the English "pomelo". I'll go ahead and incorporate what the anon put on. Any objections? Flcelloguy 16:45, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

- I don't think it belongs. What is it called in Russian, Ukrainian, Swahili, Arabic.?.?.? I'm removing it again for the time being. --AStanhope 14:20, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Malaysia info
An anon posted this which I have removed and placed here instead:
- Ipoh is a city in Malaysia popular for the cultivation of the fruit, especially in the district of Tambun-Ampang corridor. Most of the pomeloes farms had given way to residential housing development. The fruit is an important ingredient in the auspicious Lo Hei salad, widely tossed as a practiced by business communities as a major Lunar New Year dish in Singapore and Malaysia.

[edit] Merge from pummelo
To keep everything in one place, let's keep any discussion of the merge in Talk:Pummelo.
[edit] Removed DBZ reference
I removed the reference to the Dragon Ball character Zarbon. The similarity of this character's name to the Japanese word for Pomelo, zabon, has nothing to do with the fruit itself. — TheKMantalk 00:59, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] drug intereactions?
Does anyone know if the fruit has the same drug interactions as the grapefruit does?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.99.1.78 (talk • contribs) 18:17, October 25, 2006 (UTC).
- A quick google search suggests that it might act in the same way as grapefruit juice by inhibiting CYP3A4 or p-glycoprotein or both. [1] [2] --David Iberri (talk) 20:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Source of grapefruit citation
This could be cited back to the grapefruit article where it is mentioned, but that just transfers the problem. A citation would be nice, though it seems a 1940's report would be more likely to have it than an internet article. Any specialists out there? Oboler 16:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm no specialist, but the Columbia Encyclopedia says: "The pomelo (also called shaddock, for the man who first took it to England as a curiosity) was introduced into the West Indies, where it is thought that a seedling sport or mutation resulted in the grapefruit." [3]. FYI, a seedling sport is a type of mutation as far as I can tell. [4] --Calibas 01:08, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- And this page: http://waynesword.palomar.edu/ecoph6.htm says it's a hybrid. --Calibas 01:22, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
