I love grapefruit in all its forms, solid or juiced or mixed in a cocktail….

Grapefruit is an excellent source of many nutrients and phytochemicals, able to contribute to a healthy diet. Grapefruit is a good source of vitamin C,[9][18] pectin fiber,[19] and the pink and red hues contain the beneficial antioxidant lycopene.[9][20] Studies have shown grapefruit helps lower cholesterol[9][21] and there is evidence that the seeds have high levels of antioxidant properties.[22] Grapefruit forms a core part of the “grapefruit diet”, the theory being that the fruit’s low glycemic index is able to help the body’s metabolism burn fat.[23]
