This author creates hype for grapefruit
by calling it a superfood. Then what she presents as being the new
antioxidant found in the citrus – Naringenin. Naringenin is far
from a proven antioxidant and the tests to date have all been
performed on rats and mice. This is why I label what she says as
hype.
