grapefruit goodness

A new study out of Israel shows that people who ate one grapefruit (particularly the red varieties) per day for 30 days had a reduction of 15.5% of total cholesterol, with a 20.3% drop in LDL (the bad cholesterol), and a 17.2% drop in triglycerides. J Agric Food Chem 06;54(5): 1887-1892.

So besides the high vitamin C content, grapefruits are also great for your heart! Eat up!
