Grapefruit is a natural medicine that helps you fight a variety of diseases. Grapefruit is a winter fruit and is easily available when in season. Eating this fruit is natural and much better than ingesting medicine. The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry shows that consumption of grapefruit can reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol, as well as triglycerides.
I have found that the more red colored grapefruit are sweeter than the more yellow colored grapefruit, although both are still delicious. I have also found that the thicker the skin on a grapefruit, the more dry the grapefruit, which means less juice.:( The thinner the skin, the more moist and more juicy the grapefruit! :)
