RE: Bet ya didn't know THIS about watermelons!

in #vegan7 years ago

Wow I didn't know that fructose does not require insulin to break down in the body. I've done a lot of research into sugars and how they breakdown. And that makes a lot of sense, as far as many fruits having natural sugars that are possible to eat without a blood sugar spike. Thank you for pointing this out :)

Also what did you mean when you said that alone, watermelons can sustain the human diet? Do you mean that if we were to eat only watermelon, you feel that we would get sufficient nutrition from them alone? Thanks for this valuable information :)

You're very welcome...spread the word and let your sugar-conscious friends know. Besides, we are carbon-based life forms...carbon/sugar is kind of a good thing, right!?? :D If we had nitrogen-based vehicles... well, that's a fun thought for later :)

By saying that watermelons (alone) can sustain the human diet, I mean that when you eat watermelon for 60 days, you will be just fine. There's the "mangotarian" on YouTube who is past 100 days of eating just mangos, and a friend of mine has gone 50 days of only eating watermelon. And it makes complete sense.
