I'm probably one of the few people who doesn't like the taste of orange
juice.  I like grapefruit juice but I don't drink it anymore because
it's contraindicated with the statin I take for cholesterol.

I think perhaps not being able to eat oranges or to drink the juice
makes it taste all the better. The last time I ate grapefruit was more
than 40 years ago and I still remember how much my system was rebelling
even the next day. No thanks.

 My dad used to eat grapefruit. He would go through some ritual of
separating the segments using a grapefruit knife before sprinkling on
some sugar. I tried it and found the ritual relaxing and the taste
delicious. I was getting into the fruit until I found out that
grapefruit was incompatible with my diabetes medication. My foray into
grapefruit heaven lasted a couple of months. Even now, I dream of
grapefruit every now and then.

Not to worry Uncle.  I bet da hawayans don't eat grapefruit either.
Yoose need to eat stuff with lots of sugar. It's da hawayan way.
