From the wikipedia site on water melons
The citrulline which exists in watermelon (especially in the rind)
is a known stimulator of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is thought to
relax and expand blood vessels, much like the erectile dysfunction
drug Viagra, and may even increase libido.[32]
Apparently the rind is edible...

his own well-being, you understand... ;-

I would have thought you would have been thinking about it for yourself
perhaps.
Nothing exceeds excess....
FWIW, me dear old Mum ate watermelon rind when she was a tot and
nearly died of ulcerative colitis caused, as the doctors said, by the
'chemicals' in the rind.
Now you're putting people of, after me encouraging them to be fruitful.
Why do some people always spoil a good thing... (grinning from ear to

ripen)
