The most harmful fruit for women, but beneficial for men has been discovered

Scientists have named a fruit that can affect men's and women's health differently. It's about grapefruit - a citrus fruit that, as it turns out, benefits men but can be dangerous for women under certain conditions.

According to research, grapefruit is rich in antioxidants and helps reduce "bad" cholesterol levels, supports the cardiovascular system, and promotes testosterone production in men. These properties make it especially beneficial for males.

However, for women, the situation is different. Grapefruit can affect estrogen levels and interfere with the action of some hormonal medications, including contraceptives. Additionally, according to several studies, its excessive consumption may increase the risk of breast cancer in women, especially those with genetic predisposition.

Doctors recommend taking into account individual characteristics of the body and not overusing this fruit. Women who take hormonal medications or have endocrine system diseases should consult with a doctor before including grapefruit in their diet.
