How about mangos? http://abc.net.au/science/news/stories/2006/1798045.htm Mangoes for diabetes?Judy SkatssoonMonday, 27 November 2006MangoCompounds isolated from mangoes could be used to treat metabolic disorders, early research suggests (Image: iStockphoto)A mango a day may one day protect against diabetes and high cholesterol, a preliminary study suggests. The study is analysing how individual components of the luscious summer favourite affect human cells. And early results, presented at the Australian Health and Medical Research Congress in Melbourne this week, suggest that some mango components act on the same pathways that diabetes and cholesterol drugs target. University of Queensland PhD student Ashley Wilkinson says the study, the first of its kind, aims to find unique ingredients in mangoes and other tropical fruit like paw paws.

maikeru Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 A mango a day will also make one familiar with the loo. ;) But all kidding (or am I?) aside, mangoes are a good source of antioxidants and fiber. And that they might have chemicals that fight diabetes type II is good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
