Russian Expert Calls Watermelon Deceptive
Nutrition expert Dr. Yelena Solamatina stated that the main risk of watermelon lies in its high sugar content, not nitrates. She explained that watermelons contain beneficial substances such as potassium, magnesium, and citrulline, but they lack fiber and contain sugars like sucrose, glucose, and fructose, which can quickly raise blood sugar levels—especially for individuals with insulin resistance or diabetes. She confirmed that the recommended daily intake of watermelon is between 150 and 200 grams, preferably consumed as a snack one and a half to two hours after breakfast. She emphasized the importance of thoroughly removing the rind due to nitrate accumulation near it. Additionally, she noted that excessive consumption of fructose may cause fatty liver disease even in people without obesity, and suggested dividing the intake into two portions if consumed in larger amounts.
