What do these cracks mean inside the melon?

in #health7 years ago

It is sometimes surprising that there are cracks inside the watermelon after opening. What does it mean to have these cracks?

According to the site "mediavor" French, these cracks mean that the melon exposed to a chemical during cultivation, where some farmers resort to use chlorfenuron, which will increase the size of melons and accelerate the growth.

The use of this substance is not prohibited, as the Chinese authorities do not prohibit its use in agriculture, and the United States allows it to be used in the production of kiwi.

This substance is a cytokine protein that helps in the growth of some fruits, but it has negative effects on humans and the environment, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency "EPA".

Experts warn against taking any fruits that are believed to have been exposed to this substance, which can cause cancer, nerve damage and damage to public health. It is advisable to avoid eating watermelon, which has clear cracks, which indicate that the fruit was exposed to this chemical.
