Thank you for this article! I was recently put on a low fodmap diet by a gastroenterologist I was seeing. This diet called for avoiding watermelon which I thought was odd to say the least. After reading this, I feel vindicated and will not be seeing the gastroenterologist anymore (there are other reasons too beside the flawed diet advice). Good health to everyone!

Yes good point made earlier about how “clean” the watermelon is if it doesn’t purify the water it takes in! Some soils/water have toxic elements/compounds in them so these could be taken up by the watermelon and end up in the fruit we eat! That’s why organic is usually a better way if you can get them!! But then how many organic farmers actually test the soil for toxics???

Just one more truth about watermelons. Watermelons are very high in fructose, which has a hidden problem, causing a metabolic syndrome. Our cells are too smart to accept fructose, so our livers have to metabolise fructose, and eventually get a fatty liver disease (NAFLD). When you check your blood sugar, the result shows only glucose level. Most doctors don’t know that HbA1c can test only glycation by glucose, while glycation by fructose is 10x higher than by glucose. This is why many people have diabetes, but not correctly diagnosed, and don’t even know that, because HbA1c is below a diagnostic level.

Watch this 12-min video for an explanation by Dr. Berry, the most honest doctor, who admits that he was ignorant about fructose dangers:

after reading the article on Watermelon I decided to give juicing up a half watermelon, rind and all per day . First we wash the watermelon then give it a diluted vinegar rinse then rinse then blend it up rind and all. After 1 week of this what do I notice…. i) feel better more balanced ii) going to the bathroom is a more complete experience both with #1 and # 2 ….. I do seem to be urinating harder and longer iii) waking up ready for action (if you get my drift) iv) BP went from long term resting 126/82 to 108/72 ( I test a few times per day)… sure this all could be coincidental and nothing to do with the watermelon but I can honestly say I feel better in myself .. less full and less tired as well… as i say jury is still out if its the watermelon and one week is too short a time frame but i will keep on it and monitor it…. we juice it with one lime each time so the extra Vit C surely helps as well….. BP tests to me are the biggest pointer that something is going on

A doctor once told me that watermelon is the only fruit that doesn’t cleanse or filtrate the water it takes from the where it grows. Have been trying to confirm or dismiss this ever since, but couldn’t get any info either way. Nobody seems to know anything about it. But watermelon experts that write articles about this topic should know, so, hoping you have an answer.
