Five and a half years without grapefruit was harder for me to give up than any of the things I have either eliminated or greatly reduced in my diet. Funny how something so healthy is contradicted and shouldn’t be eaten when on statins. Always have loved grapefruit. 

Looks delicious, I love grapefruit, although I have trouble with the acid in citrus because of interstitial cystitis. I'm so glad for you that you are off Statins. My husband has permanent muscle damage from them. Most people just have the muscle aches caused by them but a few people have lasting effects. 

Woo Hoo, I too have getting off statins as a goal. The Doc said I could reduce them a few months ago. I said "if I don't need it, I don't want it." I miss ruby red grapefruit too. Thanks for reminding me that this can happen.
