Can I eat grapefruit for contraception?

Male  28 years old 2018-06-10
I checked out the pregnancy last week, and there was no problem with the birth control pills. After checking online, I said that the birth control pills cannot be eaten with grapefruit, is that true?

    Women who take birth control pills should avoid eating, and grapefruit has the most prominent effect on birth control pills. If a woman who takes birth control pills consumes 1 to 2 grapefruits after sex, or directly takes birth control pills with a large glass of grapefruit juice, then she may become a mother because the grapefruits hinder women’s Absorption of birth control pills.
