I have had a number in the past.
But I retired them all last January.

Grapefruits have several advantages over lemons.
Firstly, they don't contain such a high relation of citric acid to ascorbic
acid, so that they give you the vitamin C, but they don't stop you sleeping.
Secondly, they contain something that actually neutralises a bit stomach
acid, meaning that they prevent people starting to get acid stomaches when
they are not eating much.
Thirdly, elements such as potassium they contain more of.
Traditions form around things like lemons, and people then are not open to
the idea that other things might be better.
Incidentally, the best honey is from many flowers, the Polish is 'miod
wielokwiatowy'. The bees which are able to choose their own diet out of all
the richness of an uninsecticided meadowland know how to produce from that
the optimally healthy honey. Honeys produced to give a particular flavour,
such as buckwheat flower honey, sandalwood honeys, etc, are far less rich in
natural medicine. That is one of the reason we lose a lot by putting
insecticides on land, and why Poland, which is low in insecticides, is one
of the main producers of medicinal honey.
It is important not to heat the mixture over about the high fifties Celsius,
as this can cause the breakdown of the vitamins and natural antibiotics in
the ingredients.
