About fifty years ago, well I guess not "about" -- let me begin again -- fifty years ago I was in a program of biochemistry.  One of my co-students was named "girl with a gallon" because of the scientifically measured effect of this superfood in a controlled study of human physiology.

Watermelon is delicious, refreshing, especially on a hot summer day, and very rich per calorie in Vitamins A and C. Not so much in everything else, but I choose to believe in its superfood properties too. :D
