　　Researchers have found that eating mango may prevent the loss of beneficial bacteria in the intestines caused by a high-fat diet, thereby preventing type II diabetes. Scientists at Oklahoma State University in the United States selected 60 mice for experiments, divided them into 4 groups, and added mango to the diet of some of the mice. After the 12-week experiment, the researchers found that the mice that added mango to their diet lost the least beneficial gut bacteria. Eating a high-fat diet usually reduces the number of these bacteria, and these bacteria help prevent obesity and type 2 diabetes.

　　"The results of this animal experiment show that adding mango to the diet may help maintain intestinal health and the level of beneficial bacteria," said research leader Azolin Lucas. The research results were published in the latest issue of the US "Journal of Nutritional Science" monthly.

　　Previous studies have shown that mangoes are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which are beneficial to human health. However, the effect of this tropical fruit on human intestinal flora is rarely studied. The researchers said that whether the same experimental results can be replicated in humans remains to be studied.
