The miracle fruit winner goes to Grapefruit! Organic fruits & Health tips

My fiancé cringes to the name of this fruit! He wants nothing to do with it. The unbearable taste is too much for him, as well as many others who can’t stand the flavor. Well, that’s too bad because once you hear the benefits this fruit gives, then you just might want to give it another try.

For me personally, I can juice 5 of these babies and take it down like a pro. I actually love the taste! But the reason why I wanted write about grapefruit is to make people aware of the hazards grapefruit can have if you or someone  you know is taking prescription medication. Not only do people take their medications in the morning, in some cases, they take their prescriptions with grapefruit! If you love grapefruit so much that you can’t live without it, drink it 2 hours before pill popping or 5 hours after taking your drugs.
