Guest guest Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 <<. During these hot weeks we consume no oils, nuts, and almost no avocados. At the same time, our family of four consumes one or two big organic seeded watermelons every day. I would like to emphasize seeded watermelons; in the research done recently at Harvard University blah… The scientists discovered that seeded fruits have the longevity genes, while the seedless varieties possess fast-aging genes. It is as if the plant decides that its nutritional content has been so altered that the plant commits suicide by not producing seeds. Subsequently, when we consume seedless fruits, we consume fast-aging genes. I prefer to consume longevity genes. >> Quoted from Victoria Botenko's newsletter. www.Rawfamily.com I must have known that because I didn't like the seedless watermelons and the store near my house - Woodman's - the biggest grocery store in the Nation was not carrying the one's with seeds. I objected. They got them this week. Nummy. I ate 1/4 at once - which was about the size of seedless one. They are not organic but for now that's all I can get. Even the co-op doesn't carry ones with seeds. We all need to demand them from our grocers. Or grow them if we can. Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 I find the best place to find seeded watermelons are Farmer's Markets and at Farms (some have a little roadside stand set up). rawfood , vegwriter wrote: > > > I wish I could find seeded ones. > > In a message dated 7/29/2006 1:02:51 P.M.
