Is it possible to OD on watermelon?

Something tells me it is. I mean, it seems innocent enough. A melon made of water, during a time of 105 degree days, seems like the the perfect food. And yet…the sugar. It’s filled with delicious, pinky-red, juicy sugar. Sugar that is poised to attack me in some way, that when ingested commences a vicious chain of insulin highs and lows and hormone imbalances and water retention and energy nosedives and weight gain. When is a piece of watermelon not just a piece of watermelon? When I eat it.
