A medium grapefruit provides 2.4 grams of soluble fiber. You must eat the whole fruit and never discard its connective membranes because it is where its soluble fiber develops. It has no fat, calories and is cholesterol-free. You can also eat this to lower down your cholesterol level. Red and pink grapefruits contain a cancer-preventative phytonutrient called lycopene.
