when you give people watermelon juice along with an ogtt it attenuates all of the negative effects of the ogtt in ter at the level of the endothelium
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
watermelon juice is so interesting to me specifically because there are multiple studies in which they give people glucose so they'll do an oral glucose tolerance test an ogtt and they'll Infuse glucose and make people hyperglycemic essentially with a quote-unquote processed sugar and and you see micro and macrovascular dysfunction of the endothelium when you do that but when you give people watermelon juice along with an ogtt it attenuates all of the negative effects of the ogtt in turn at the level of the endothelium
watermelon juice has been studied in humans found to lower blood pressure improve endothelial function just like orange juice and improve levels of nitric oxide
