Is watermelon and milk poison?

Question

My mom, and a few other people, told me that if you drink milk and eat watermelon shortly after, or vice versa, that it's poison. Not like it's gonna kill you, but you won't have a good time, i.e. throwing up, diarrea, etc.

I also heard the same is true for water and popcorn and water and peanuts. True or no?

Answer 1

Sigh.......not true.

Although everyone reacts differently to food, popcorn upsets my digestive system...I still eat it though.

I can't imagine anyone enjoying a glass of milk with their watermelon but this sounds like rubbish.  If it was true that it made the majority of people ill we would all know about it.

By the Way:  This has been asked before. Stuff of urban legend, apparently.  Here ya go:
