Original Note:
While grapefruit has health benefits, such as being rich in antioxidants, vitamins & fiber, the claim made is not supported by scientific evidence. There is no conclusive research to suggest that eating grapefruit alone can clear all arterial plaque. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/12/16/fact-check-eating-grapefruit-cant-clear-all-plaque-arteries/6464383001/ https://www.healthline.com/health/high-cholesterol/grapefruit-and-statins#risks https://www.amjmed.com/article/s0002-9343%2815%2900774-3/fulltext Grapefruit: https://www.heart.org/en/news/2020/01/17/before-grabbing-a-grapefruit-understand-its-power CAD: https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/coronary_ad.htm
