Hello Wiccans and Christians!
Speaking of grapefruits, here's something that has been in the news
lately and which tends to appeal to the low-carbers:
Grapefruit Puts the Squeeze on Low-Carb Diets
WINTER HAVEN, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/04/2003 -- Florida Grapefruit
may soon squeeze out Atkins and other low-carb diets as a safer and
easier way to avoid carbohydrates.
"Grapefruit contains key compounds that inhibit an enzyme in the
digestive track, preventing the absorption of excess dietary fats and
carbohydrates," says biochemical researcher Daryl Thompson, who
initiated the grapefruit diet study with Scripps Research Clinic. "So,
by eating grapefruit, you can lose weight without altering your diet
at all."
Other studies at Johns Hopkins University and Chapel Hill School of
Medicine also show that Florida grapefruit is key to reducing symptoms
of metabolic syndrome (Syndrome X), which includes high cholesterol,
insulin resistance, hypertension and obesity.
But even with the known benefits of grapefruit, many cannot tolerate
the tart taste or acid indigestion; still others are avoiding the
fruit because of the potential negative chemical interactions with
cholesterol lowering drugs. Additionally most of the compounds needed
for weight-loss, are contained in the peel -- the part usually thrown
away.
