Exploding watermelons! RUN!!!

Crops of watermelons in eastern China have been exploding after farmers gave them overdoses of growth chemicals.

Over 115 acres of watermelon have been affected.

While the chemicals used to make watermelons bigger can be safe if used properly, a report says that this is just one example of how many in China are not abusing chemicals in their crops.

Moral of the story?

Don’t walk through watermelon fields in China?

We don’t know! LOL!

The study that was recently done finds that there was improved arterial function and lowered blood pressure in all nine pre-hypertensive adults, four men and five women, who ate watermelon daily for six weeks.

Let’s bring out the watermelon!
