Best Answer

Citrus fruits are all acid fruits. Acid fruits are the most detoxifying of all fruits. It is best to eat them fresh. They are high in Vitamin C and contain many other essential nutrients, including both glycaemic and non-glycaemic carbohydrate (sugars and fibre), potassium, folate, calcium, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B6, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, riboflavin, pantothenic acid and a variety of phytochemicals.

Citrus fruits contain no fat, sodium, or cholesterol.

Grapefruits contain 10 grams of dietary fiber, more than double the fiber in most fruits and vegetables. Diets high in fiber have been shown to help fight against Heart disease.

Orange Juice is a good souorce of folic acid. Folic acid has been shown to reduce birth defects in babies.
