Some medicines are not water soluble, so some foods can cause interference.

Some foods (like grapefruit) affect absorption rates.

Some foods contain amplifying/neutralizing chemicals. For example, leafy greens contain a ton of vitamin K, which can amplify the effect of blood thinners to undesired levels.
