Actually, pink grapefruit juice, or pink grapefruit, is a source of lycopene, although nowhere near as high in it as are concentrated tomatoes (spaghetti sauce, ketchup, etc., both of which are loaded with salt).
Eating the grapefruit, if you eat it with the white membrane that surrounds it, is also a source of pectin, a cholesterol-binding fiber, and probably other nutrients. Oranges are the same way. Most people throw the membrane away. The fruit is almost always better than the juice, but juice is good too.
I think since grape juice is more concentrated than grapes,
Fiber is as important for heart disease prevention as are any of the other nutrients. Personally, I think we evolved eating fruit, not drinking juice, so fruit is the way to go. Juice is probably best diluted with water, since it's high in sugar and calories. The body just doesn't need that much. I think the best way to get the much-touted olive oil is to eat olives.
If you can possibly stand the taste -- blech!!!
Nature doesn't grow anything in a bottle. See ya later.
Then how do those tiny ships get in there?
going to buy some great fruits, p
