For some reason one set of grandparents each had a half a grapefruit every morning at breakfast and I don't know what the reason for that was.
Grapefruit seems so tart, that I figured there was a health reason for it.
I was a kid and never asked why and figure it could have been their penance for 72 years of marriage.

Anyone here know of any medical benefits of grapefruit if no pills are being taken?

They are considered useful in several weight-loss diets.

I had always heard that you could eat grapefruit and it had no effect on the medication. You just couldn't drink the juice. I have no idea why the difference.
