Right, cantaloupe as well. And you could put dried fruit on the list. But then again look at the concentrated nutrients and fiber. But the glycemic load is very low with watermelon FOUR for a 120 gram serving. SO guess what....you ain't gonna eat enough carbs from watermelon to really do much. Unless you are one hell of a watermelan freak. Most of this stuff is blown out of proportion. So much water and fiber. The thing is (and I'm not trying to shoot anyone down I'm just doing my thing) you take someone with a diet full of added sugars, processed foods, and "white" stuff like pasta, white bread, blah, blah, blah...the typical bad diet, and put them on whole foods and even up to 3 servings or more of ANY kind of fruit and you are going to improve their insulin control, not disrupt it. It's high fiber, and the "sugar" comes in a very nutrient dense package.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
