Grapefruit could help against gum disease

27/12/05 Two grapefruits a day, for a fortnight, may lead to less bleeding from gums, according to a new study.

Researchers at the Friedrich Schiller University in Germany found that eating grapefruits had a positive effect on both smokers and non-smokers, reported the online edition of BBC News.

Grapefruit increases vitamin C in blood levels and promote wound healing and cut damage by unstable free radical molecules.
