An orange a day keeps heart attacks at bay

Are you an orange fan? I'm talking the fresh fruit here, either the fruit itself or freshly-squeezed (and unpasteurized) orange juice.

If so, it may do you good to know that new research shows that oranges and grapefruits can help keep your arteries healthy and protect against heart attacks.

Citrus fruits reduced blood cholesterol in rats within a new study, which the researchers based their conclusions on.

Fresh orange juice is so good, as long as you bypass the frozen, reconstituted kinds that may taste good, but is rarely beneficial based on all the processing that's gone into it.
