I've often wondered that myself.  There is a sticker on my birth control that says diet or herbal supplements may decrease the effectiveness of my birth control.  I had to call the pharmacist to see.  Then the pharmacist couldn't always tell me whether or not it would.  So, I'd try it and see...and knock on wood, I haven't had any problems as far as that goes.
