Well I decided to pluck up the courage to try a pink grapefruit today and found I quite enjoyed it. Being bored at work I typed "Pink Grapefruit" into Google and came across all sorts of websites pointing out the risks of breast cancer, and was immediatel put off Grapefruit.
"A study of 50,000 post-menopausal women found eating just a quarter of a grapefruit daily raised the risk by up to 30%."
"Previous studies have shown that a molecule called cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is involved in metabolising oestrogen hormones"
"They said: "It is well established that oestrogen is associated with breast cancer risk."
A good few websites including BBC News. Wikipedia and other random sites have all claimed the above statements.
Hmmm....
