that's nice :0)
much better than being addicted to soda, or smoking, or drugs!!!
they're healthy and are good for you.
(unless you eat way way WAY too many, in which case you will turn orange.... just kidding!)
rock on!
hope this helps!
**i'm addicted to them too, i just love it when you bite down on it and the juice just squirts out... (sounds disgusting, but it's true!) and fills your mouth with a luscious, juicy flavor.... mm.... *drooling*

I would think your body is craving Vitamin C, and you enjoy the cold delicious flavor and texture. But two things, they are very high in acid, which can damage your teeth and tummy. Also, grapefruits are a little sour, so are you piling on lots of sugar to sweeten it> white sugar is empty calories,,,not at all good to be loading up on. I love grapefruit, too, and would slice one every night, fix 1/2 for the AM and finish off the other half right there at the sink,,,,but was adding lots of sugar and the acid finally got too my stomach.

Grapefruit is a good source of vitamin c, other vitamins and fiber. My only concern would be if you are taking any type of medication, grapefruit can react with it and cause the medication to not work as it should. Other than that, enjoy your grapefruit.

Grapefruit is a good thing, but ask your doctor to make sure the acid isnt doing any damage internally!
