What foods should I avoid when drinking coffee?

Normally, caffeine has a half-life of 3 to 5 hours in healthy adults. However, some foods can prolong this period so that the caffeine remains in the bloodstream longer. An example of this is grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice contains certain bitter substances that cause the liver to break down the caffeine more slowly.
