Recently, attitudes towards watermelon have changed a lot, and this is not unreasonable.. It has become hazardous to health, and this is due to unscrupulous cultivation, improper storage and violation of the rules of implementation..

Nitrates accumulate in the pulp of watermelon, this is facilitated by a lack of sun and an abundance of moisture..

By themselves, nitrates are low toxic, but when they enter the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, they are converted into harmful nitrites and N-nitroso compounds that can cause cancer..

Nitrates disrupt the transport function of the blood - this affects hemoglobin, which can subsequently lead to hypoxia - a lack of oxygen in the tissues.

This is especially difficult for children and those who suffer from cardiovascular diseases, as well as diseases of the respiratory and excretory systems..
