Rheumatism and Grapefruit
Dear Aunt Daisy, I am troubled with rheumatism, and am very fond of grapefruit. I have been told that they should not be eaten by anyone troubled with this complaint. Will you kindly tell me if this is correct? "Rocky Bay." You would be wise to ask your doctor, who will advise whether -your particular form of rheumatism would be made worse-or better. In general the acid of citrus fruits has an alkaline reaction" in the body, and is actually beneficial in cases of rheumatism. Grapefruit has even been found helpful in cases of mild anemia, and for blood-pressure. But check up with a doctor.
