She said Patil's research is valid, but with a caveat: One would need to eat about six cups of watermelon to get enough citrulline to boost the body's arginine level.
"The problem you have when you eat a lot of watermelon is you tend to run to the bathroom more," Perkins-Veazie said.
Watermelon is a diuretic and was a homeopathic treatment for kidney patients before dialysis became widespread.
Another issue is the amount of sugar that much watermelon would spill into the bloodstream -- a jolt that could cause cramping, Perkins-Veazie said.

I'm guessing they are gonna raise rates, which due to the commodities market isn't going to do **** to stifle inflation and then the **** is going to hit the fan.
yeah the CA budget was due yesterday, they are 15billion short, so i think we just arent going to have one, nobody wants to be on the line for that one
