Reminder to self

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... LOL! That's downright subversive, that is! My husband doesn't need to know this small factoid about watermelons and I will be Vigilant that he doesn't eat too much of the stuff. For his own well-being, you understand... ;- 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. -- Trish Brown {|:-} Newcastle, NSW, Australia |
