    Unless it makes you eat less at the following meal, less than you normally would, and less than the calories of the drink.

    It's a diuretic, bad for your teeth, and grapefruit nullifies the benefits many prescription medications as a side note. I'm hoping this post was made in jest but if not, just no :lol:

    Actually grapefruit juice makes most prescription drugs more potent, which is the big danger of drinking it.

    https://www.drugs.com/article/grapefruit-drug-interactions.html

    "Grapefruit juice decreases the activity of the cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzymes that are responsible for breaking down many drugs and toxins. Grapefruit contains compounds known as furanocoumarins that block the CYP3A4 enzymes. When grapefruit juice is consumed, the enzyme’s ability to break down the drug for elimination is decreased. Blood levels of the drug may rise, resulting in the risk for new or worsened side effects. "
