    They're journalists wanting to make a quick buck by reposting the same story from a different news site. You really expect them to get the picture right?

    Yeah, I liked the bit about their heart muscle enlarging 30% after a meal. That was pretty mind-boggling. (So now I'm eyeing this gigantic watermelon on my kitchen counter, wondering if I eat the whole thing in one sitting, will I be able to run a half-marathon next week?)

    I only read the first few lines of the article and ran out to the kitchen and ate 25 pounds of dark chocolate and now I can't move.

    I'd advise you to leave that watermelon alone.

    ;D
