The myth of eating watermelon 1: Watermelon is not full.
Why do you usually feel full when you eat more than one bowl of rice, and seldom feel full when you eat too much watermelon? In the face of watermelon, has our appetite suddenly increased?
Experts point out that watermelon is different from apple, and its sweetness mainly comes from fructose. The lower the temperature, the greater the sweetness of fructose, and all kinds of cool drinks love fructose. Studies have long found that fructose does not significantly increase blood sugar, but it also bypasses the mechanism of controlling appetite. In other words, drinking glucose water and sugar water makes people feel full, but drinking fructose-containing drinks does 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, so this situation is also unacceptable.
