Grapefruit diets and claims of weight loss have been around for awhile, but researchers at the University of California, say their findings in a study involving mice and grapefruit juice indicate there may be some validity to the potential benefits of grapefruit juice.
Simply put, mice fed a high fat diet gained 18 percent less weight when they drank clarified, no-pulp grapefruit juice. That’s 18 percent less than did the control group of mice who drank water along with their high-fat diet. The university, checked and re-checked the results. Although the California Grapefruit Growers Cooperative paid for the study, the researchers said the cooperative didn't have any control of the study design or research findings. Their results were scheduled to run in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE.
