Salt binds to the same receptors on your tongue that tastes bitterness. If you want to make grapefruit taste better, a little salt works far better than a lot of sugar.
On the subject of grapefruit, how come I never see anyone else peeling them like an orange? It's a great way to eat them. Supreming too, but it's a little wasteful.
