Mangoes may help reduce insulin resistance in adults who are overweight or obese

A substitution of 100 calories for a sweet snack improved insulin response (HOMA-IR, 2.28 ± 1.19 vs. 4.67 ± 1.2).

This does not mean eating a lot more mango, beyond 100 calories, is that much better for you.

Spoilsport!

Mangos are my absolute favorite fruit, bar none. A Guimaras mango, Aoril-May, is an instance of God outdoing himself and spoiling his people.

If only they had said cantaloupe instead of mango.

I hate mango.

[9YearLurker]

A sugary piece of fruit is better for nearly diabetic, obese, adults than mainlining pure sugar.

Love mangos...used to get them fresh while in Colombia.

[GnuThere]

This is a pleasant surprise. I think of them as one of the sweeter fruits as opposed to berries, I suppose.

Watch out the the skin if you are allergic to poison ivy.

Two cups of mango only have 100 calories?

No.

One cup yes but two cups, no.

[Veto!]

I love mangoes too. Trader Joe has them frozen, peeled and chopped into bitesize squares, really good to stir into vanilla yogurt for dessert. I think Safeway has them too and probably other stores.

They have mangos here (in Spain), I think they’re from Mexico. I dont think there is another Philippine mango in my future sadly.

[ConservativeMind]

What’s amazing is that the insulin response improvement helped far beyond just the benefit that hour.

[9YearLurker]

Not so surprising that the effects of a fibrous fruit would be better than those of pure sugar, lasting beyond an hour.

Lol!

[gnarledmaw]

It just had to be one of the most disgusting ones...

...why are so many Mexicans so over weight?

[Dr. Sivana]

I was actually hoping the Italian ices were good for you. No such luck.

Mango is the most popular fruit in the world. I on the other hand find it too sweet. To each one’s own.
