My tea is evil? Earl Grey ingredient can be photoxic

I drink Earl Grey, not often but often enough. I decided to look up its history and found this. It just one study, but interesting.

"In one study, oil of bergamot was linked to certain phototoxic compounds. Bergamot is a source of bergamottin which, along with the chemically related compound 6’,7’-dihydroxybergamottin, is believed to be responsible for the grapefruit juice effect in which the consumption of the juice affects the metabolism of a variety of pharmaceutical drugs. Beware of using skin products that contain bergamot in sunny regions, the same goes for consumption. Liver spots increases are related to bergamot consumption."

And info on phototoxic effects.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototoxic

Just interesting. I am ingesting, but the oils certainly remain on the lips. However, if you have a daily lotion that contains bergamot oil and tan this may be good to know.
