We’ve heard the claim before: incorporate grapefruit into your diet and reap the benefits. The tangy fruit has made headlines again. This time with the claim: “Eat one grapefruit every day. Feel great, look great and notice the difference.” Hm.
A study commissioned by the South Africa Citrus Growers Association (CGA), asked a panel of 65 British women to eat one grapefruit a day for two weeks and report back on how it made them look and feel. According to the results more than half of the women lost weight during the two-week period. Of the women who participated, 72.3 percent reported that the condition of their hair improved and 81.6 percent found that their skin improved.
British industry figures report declining sales for the grapefruit so we know there are clear motives behind the study. Even so, the figures are high. Could the grapefruit be the answer to our skin and hair issues? Do any DailyBeauty readers depend on beauty benefits from grapefruits?
