I like having open discussions with people. It's fun and it's a good way to enjoy other people's opinions. You have to see that maybe this website you're reading isn't really what you think it is, right? It's easy to read all the articles but miss the fine print.10 -

They may have some health benefits, but it will not help you to lose weight quicker or burn fat. You need a calorie deficit for that.
Which toxins are you referencing?2 -

Just the fact you linked a website that has a whole tab designated for detoxes and cleanses should be your first clue...
Then take into consideration that this website is run by a company trying to sell you some woo-tiful products...
Then consider that this guy who writes the website has a million certifications in everything from chiropractor to naturopath to herbalist...
And I'm not listening to a word you're saying.8 -

Well that's one way to cut back on how much you eat!
In all seriousness, I'm sorry that happened to you.2 -

Every weight loss study that looks into grapefruit as a weight loss benefit shows nominal results. How nominal? 1-3lbs additional weight loss in a 3 month study.
All participants taking grapefruit and gained the added (possible) improved weight loss gained it all back after stopping the grapefruit treatment.
So...enjoy that grapefruit for the rest of your life.

toxin: a poisonous substance that is a specific product of the metabolic activities of a living organism and is usually very unstable, notably toxic when introduced into the tissues, and typically capable of inducing antibody formation
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/toxin
Not seeing how cholesterol is a toxin. Pesticides, yes. But if you're injesting pesticides at a toxic level, you need more than grapejuice to take care of that.6 -
JosetteandBill wrote: »Did I say that anything about weight loss? No, I said it flushes the liver of fat and toxins.
My point Josette, is that it doesn't do anything more than drinking a bunch of lemon juice would. Same thing. It's a diuretic which helps flush everything out - with the water it flushes out. Because *WATER FLUSHES OUT TOXINS*
Let me make that clear to you - GRAPEFRUIT JUICE DOES NOTHING BUT ENCOURAGE THE FLUSHING OF WATER FROM YOUR SYSTEM. THE WATER FLUSHES OUT TOXINS.
So, drink plenty of water - same effect.
Take a water pill from your doctor - same effect.
Drink lemonade - same effect.
Do you get it yet? It is a diuretic with vitamins. That's all it is.
It is not the holy grail of fruit. It is not a wonder drug, not a miracle cure.
It will not remove warts, prevent stillbirth nor will it make the opposite sex more attracted to you.
It will make you pee more. With vitamins!
I'm done. Somebody else take over and let me know when she's been properly exorcised of the "magic toxin extractor" demons.10 -
I will enjoy my grapefruit (now that I am off blood pressure medicine) my apple cider (in my salad dressing) and my honey (drizzled over pancakes) but never together like this. Ick. Just ick.
No elixir can eliminate imaginary toxins. Or maybe it can; like a magician's trick or a charlatan's game.4 -
JosetteandBill wrote: »Okay. It really is a not hard to look something up.
I read all of those. The only one that even mentions the liver detox is the last link, which is a blog.
Fun fact: something being published on a blog by someone who says they're a doctor doesn't make it proven fact!
There have been plenty of studies linking grapefruit with weight loss, but most acknowledge that eating a diet high in fiber and water is the benefit of grapefruit, along with many other fruits and veggies. And of course it has health benefits, again due to water, fiber, and vitamins, which are present in many fruits & veggies. But detoxing the liver is woo, it is a silly thing that people trying to create a tribe they can sell stuff to put out there.6 -
Does this count? If so, I may have cleansed enough for the next three years over the 4th weekend.

I'll remember this when I get hepatitis C instead of "toxins."
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/16579728/
An actual study. Good. We're getting warmer. Unfortunately, all it shows is that grapefruit helped with a bit of weight loss, not with cleansing the liver.
http://www.livescience.com/54746-grapefruit-nutrition.html
Nobody's saying grapefruit isn't healthful.
https://nature.berkeley.edu/news/2014/10/grapefruit-juice-may-help-stem-weight-gain-lower-glucose-and-insulin-levels
Again, this is talking about a minimal weight loss, not removal of toxins. It doesn't even mention the liver.
http://www.prevention.com/food/healthy-eating-tips/grapefruit-shown-boost-weight-loss
Again, no mention of the liver.
https://shcs.ucdavis.edu/blog/health-trends/grapefruit-great-fruit
Again, we are not discussing whether or not grapefruit is good for you. No mention of the liver in this link either.
http://www.drdavidwilliams.com/foods-to-reduce-cholesterol/
*sigh* There is a passing reference to grapefruit pectin here. Nothing more.
http://naturalsociety.com/10-amazing-health-benefits-of-grapefruit/
This website wants to sell you things.
Out of eight links, only one showed a way that grapefruit might benefit the liver, in the case of Hepatitis C. No mention in any of your links that grapefruit flushes fat and toxins.19 -

None of the links mentioned that grapefruit juice can rid the body of pesticides. While she's right that pesticides can be toxic, she still hasn't shown that grapefruit juice will help your liver rid itself of them.7 -

They may have some health benefits, but it will not help you to lose weight quicker or burn fat. You need a calorie deficit for that.

It is, apparently, hard to read and understand the links before you put them up. Otherwise, you'd realize you keep stating unfounded things.3 -
