[edit] Remove unreliable claim of 'negative calories'

I have removed the following:

Honeydew is reputed to be a fruit which has [[negative calories]] (in that it requires more energy to digest than the fruit itself provides and also can produce a large amount of gas) <ref>{{cite web | title=Fat Free Kitchen: Negative Calorie Foods | url=http://www.fatfreekitchen.com/negative-calorie-foods.html}}</ref>.

First, i removed it because i personally don't think it's true. Seconly, i don't believe the reference listed, "Fat Free Kitchen.com", is reliable. They do not seem to be official, or scitentist or doctors in any way. In fact, they have a large disclaimer [1], which says, in part,"The information given on this web site is a general guidance only and is not intended as a substitute for advice from a physician or other health care professional." This does not give me any confidence in the accuracy of this information.

In summary, if this is true, we need the reference to be of a quality that's citable.
