Grapefruit juice...

Question
I drink an 8 ounce glass of grapefruit juice everyday and want to know which color of grapefruit juice is better for losing weight, golden yellow or ruby red?  

Answer
Hi,

The color is caused by the pigmentation of the fruit. The pink or red variety contains more vitamins than the white. They all have about the same calories, 100 per fruit, so it doesn't matter from a calorie standpoint which color you like.

But pink and red varieties are high in beta carotene, a precursor of Vitamin A. Pink and Ruby Red grapefruit also contain lycopene that helps with preventing some cancers such as ovarian and prostate cancer. Lycopene also helps in preventing heart disease.

Grapefruits usually have less than 100 calories, so will be good for weight loss. It is good as a food in between meals, and also can fill you up due to its fiber content.
Also grapefruits block the uptake of fatty acids into cells to prevent our bodies from effectively using carbohydrates, thus reducing sugar consumption apparently.

Thanks.
