My friend was just telling me they knew someone who went on a watermelon fast for 2 days. I didn't think you would get anything out of it, but it looks like they're full of goodness.

The fruit is also loaded with antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin A, and it contains more lycopene, which reduces the risk of heart disease and cancer, than any other fruit or vegetable—including tomatoes. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A23B2FA6-4B43-4CA8-8A13-13857E221836/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
