In some medical traditions, practitioners say to avoid raw fruits
because of their cooling effect and high fructose content. But citrus
fruits supply vitamin C, an antioxidant known for its ability to defend
the body against colds. Pink grapefruit also supplies a fair amount of
another antioxidant, beta-carotene–the redder the fruit, the more
beta-carotene it contains.
