Honey would you like some watermelon?

We were in Fresh Market over the weekend and there was a woman handing out samples of yellow watermelon. If I had read this article before visiting her sample stand I might have understood her nudge and wink when she suggested I feed it to my husband. Apparently watermelon has been found to have Viagra like effects. with yellow watermelon having the highest concentration of citrulline.

The good news for those of us not looking for a viagra effect from watermelon, according to the article on Fox News

"Watermelon may not be as organ-specific as Viagra," he said, "but it's a great way to relax blood vessels without any drug side-effects."

I don't know about you, but if eating fruit would cause me to relax a bit, I'd eat it. Unfortunately the article goes on to state that you'd need to eat about 6 cups of watermelon for the effects. Six cups of watermelon would land most people in the bathroom, not the bedroom!!

I suppose its only a matter of time before our email in boxes are filled with offers watermelon pills.
