Alkalizing fruits just happen to have the potential to slow obesity and diabetes down
A substance in grapefruit just may prove to be the key to reversing acidity that leads to obesity and diabetes.
The substance, a flavonoid called "naringenin," is a naturally occurring alkaline compound in all citrus fruit, but especially in grapefruit.

Naringenin, for all its potential to heal, leaves a little to be desired on the palette. So we're going to give you a few tips to make grapefruit more appealing.
Add some blue agave sweetener, but not a lot. Just enough to buffer the bitter.
Add some warmed up raw honey to your grapefruit; pour it right on the naked fruit. Don't warm the honey until it's hot, but warm it up just enough so that it drips nicely over the fruit.
