Question about grapefruit not Dave around?

I may be wrong Dave but I seem to recall you posting some information about the benefits of grapefruit.
I love those damn things and have a tree full of them.
If you wouldn't mind I'd appreciate some info or a few posted  links to some info.
Thanks

 All I remember is that in addition to being filled with fiber, one site said the reason people lose weight on grapefruit is likely that few of the carbs actually turn into sugar, making them in effect, a low carb fruit. Proceed with caution on that if you are a diabetic, because I'm not sure if this is actually true.

I have read that grapefruit helps lower blood pressure... but if you are on blood pressure meds.. better check with the doc.. It might make your BP too low.

Not just BP meds.  Affects quite a few. 

Thank you. Not diabetes or heart problems here. Just craving some grapefruit is all.

I like grapefruit as well. Seems to me that grapefruit's are a diuretic. That's why people would lose weight when they would go on the infamous grapefruit diet.

 I googled grapefruit and there's a lot of diet and cleansing BS on the web, but there was one other positive tidbit of information: 90% water, which is also good for weight loss.

I usually peel mine and eat them like and orange. This raises your fiber intake substantially.

Meee tooo!

I definitely crave the juicy sweet n sourness of the grapefruit.  It takes a good long time to eat and has so many benefits.  It's a food that is a process!

Grapefruit are great, but since surgery I'm having a hard time with them. Also if you are on cholesterol meds grapefruit counteract the meds so there is a warning on the bottles to not take grapefruit with cholesterol meds.
