　　Researchers have found that eating mangoes can prevent the loss of beneficial bacteria from the intestinal tract caused by a high-fat diet, thereby preventing type 2 diabetes. Scientists at Oklahoma State University in the United States selected 60 mice for the experiment, divided them into four groups, and added mango to the diet of some mice. After 12 weeks of experimentation, the researchers found that the mice supplemented with mango lost the least beneficial gut bacteria. Eating a high-fat diet usually reduces the number of these bacteria, which helps prevent obesity and type 2 diabetes.

　　"The results of this animal study indicate that adding mango to the diet may help maintain intestinal health and beneficial bacteria levels," said research leader Azolin Lucas. The research results were published in the latest issue of the American Journal of Nutritional Science. Previous studies have shown that mangoes are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are beneficial to human health, but there are few studies on the effect of this tropical fruit on the human intestinal microbiota. The researchers said that there is currently no study on whether the same experimental results can be replicated in humans.
