Grapefruit The Wonder Fruit

One of the compounds found in the red grapefruit that gives it a pinkish hue is lycopene. This compound is also found in tomatoes and sweet red peppers. There is a very potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger found in these foods that aids in the fight against cancer.

Grapefruit is also an excellent source of limonoids, which like vitamin C has potent anticancer properties.

In todays world with so many additives in our food these are just a few foods we can add daily to maintain a healthier life.
