Yes there is sugar in watermelon and its HEALTHY SUGAR!!!! Unlike artificial sugars that don't give you health benefits, the natural sugars in fruits have a different protein structure and interact differently with the vitamins and minerals you swallow from the fruit. So go ahead and enjoy that healthy watermelon and stay away from processed watermelons and fruits in ready-made containers that are filled with artificial sugars to enhance their flavors.
