In particular, we’re referring to watermelon grown in eastern China and elsewhere which were exposed to a growth accelerator known as forchlorfenuron. In China, the growth chemical has actually resulted in watermelons exploding! According to the U.S. EPA, “Forchlorfenuron is a cytokine which improves fruit size, fruit set, cluster weight and cold storage in grapes in kiwifruits. Chinese regulations don’t forbid the use of the drug, and it’s allowed in the United States on kiwi fruit and grapes, but it’s been reported that many farmers in China are abusing both legal and illegal chemicals, with many farms misusing pesticides and fertilizers. And it’s hardly as if these chemicals have been found safe. According to an EPA pesticide fact sheet, forchlorfenuron is not necessarily harmless. It reports: Moderate toxicity to freshwater fish Slightly higher toxicity levels in the avian population Increased pup mortality and decreased litter sizes in rat studies If you’re nervous about your watermelons, and you should be, consider this: Watermelons that are grown with hormones will display cracks on the inside. This is a sign that the watermelon grew faster than it was supposed to.  2 Likes |
