DESCRIPTION: The role white and pink (red) grapefruit may play in weight loss and cholesterol control, as well as the suppression of drug clearance enzymes within the body.

Another benefit of not taking drugs? You don't have to worry about grapefruit consumption! See Say No to Drugs by Saying Yes to More Plants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/say-no-to-drugs-by-saying-yes-to-more-plants/). 

We don't want to take cholesterol-lowering drugs unless we need to. See Statin Muscle Toxicity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/statin-muscle-toxicity/). To get cholesterol down naturally, see:
