   Also, earlier, someone thought the watermelon was a kind of berry.
   It's not. I am very limited by how much watermelon I can eat, as it
starts tasting more and more like cucumbers (both are members of the
cucurbits), and I  get that urge to burp it as if it were a cucumber.
   This same chemical - or a similar one - is probably why I can't eat raw
squash - especially yellow squash and zucchini. Cooking well seems to
neutralize the effects, which - in effect - would defeat the purpose of
trying to eat as close to natural/paleo as possible.
