Grapefruits Make Women Seem Younger...
In our strangest news item of the week, it has come to our attention that grapefruits may make women "seem" younger. In a bizarre study where middle-aged women were smeared with everything from broccoli and bananas, to spearmint leaves and grapefruits, only the grapefruit scent had an effect on men. During the study, men guessed that the grapefruit-doused women were much younger than they actually were. Grapefruits, as you know, are also rumored to burn fat. Wow! A fruit that tastes great, helps burn fat and makes you seem years younger? We're officially declaring these things our citrusy new best friends!
