Flavonoids Found in Citrus Fruit May Lower One's Risk for Stroke.

"Flavonoids in oranges and grapefruits can lower a woman's risk for stroke by 19%"

The Nurse's Health Study has shown that a high intake of flavonoids in oranges and grapefruits can lower a woman's risk for stroke by nineteen percent. Juices are not a good source of flavonoids because of the sugar content. Fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruits are the best sources of flavonoids to lower one's risk for stroke.
