BBC - Newsbeat - Health - Watermelon 'has same effect as Viagra'
It has a chemical called CITRULINE in it which affects the body's blood vessels similarly to Viagra - it relaxes them which helps blood get around the body more easily. It is not as organ-specific though, but it is also good for the heart and immune system, and what is not water is loaded with lycopene, which is good for the skin. The research is from Texas Fruit & Vegetable Improvement Center.
