The sweetness of watermelon mainly comes from fructose. The lower the temperature, the greater the sweetness of fructose. Although fructose does not significantly increase blood sugar, it also bypasses the mechanism of controlling appetite. Drinking glucose water and sugar water will make people feel full, but drinking fructose-containing drinks will not make people feel full. Because watermelon contains a lot of fructose, it also has the characteristic of not feeling full. In this way, it is difficult for people to control their food intake when eating watermelon, and it is easy to eat more.
