　　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.

　　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.
