Watermelon = New Viagra?

Growing up, I fell victim to many rumors about foods from my mother. One of which was, “Don’t eat watermelon before going to bed! It’ll make you pee!” While that may not be a rumor (unfortunately, I couldn’t prove her wrong), researchers over at Texas A&M University have made some headway in watermelon sex research, stating that chemicals in the rind of the melon relaxes blood vessels in much the same way that Viagra (the penis erectile drug) does. (Thx. NBC5)
