Russian Expert Warns Watermelon as a Deceptive Food
Russian nutrition expert Elena Solamatina confirmed that the main danger of watermelon lies in its high sugar content, particularly sucrose, glucose, and fructose, rather than nitrates as commonly believed. She pointed out that watermelon contains beneficial substances such as potassium, magnesium, and citrulline acid, but it lacks fiber and has a high glycemic index. She warned that consuming large quantities of watermelon, especially on an empty stomach, can sharply elevate blood sugar levels and lead to vascular issues, particularly for individuals with insulin resistance or diabetes. She recommended eating between 150 to 200 grams daily and avoiding excess, emphasizing the importance of thoroughly removing the rind to prevent nitrate buildup. Additionally, she advised not to consume watermelon on an empty stomach and to split larger amounts (over 250 grams) into two portions, especially for diabetics and those with liver conditions.
