Yes. But in limited quantity. Half to one. natural and no added sugar
in reply to suramo
The question of limit applies to all types of food whether of fruits , fats ,proteins ,carbs , literally everything. Any thing beyond a limit turns in to poison one day .

Mango gi 51 and glucose content 15 so gl 7.5. If you eat mango no carb along with it recommended.
in reply to suramo
Yes , no carb with mango , is in fact very good for the overall health .Avoiding fruits is rather a grave mistake.

Fructose is worse then glucose. Better to avoid fruits and corn syrup.
in reply to suramo
. The nutrients in fruits far out weigh the disadvantages of fructose . The damage caused by fructose can be and has to be adjusted in other areas .

"The nutrients in fruits far out weigh the disadvantages of fructose". This is absolutely wrong but can you justify ?
in reply to suramo
Mango is a rich source of copper , potassium ,magnesium , vit c , vit A , B6 .Probiotic fiber all are very good for health . Instead of going for supplements it is better to turn to nature . In case of supplements we don't go for basketfuls . The same way fruits can be taken in moderation . Even banana is good for a diabetic .Supplements are not reliable many times .

Fine. We have to look for other sources of the elements we get from mango. But fructose causes nafld and i'm sure no one would want those elements from mango and other fruits at that cost - nafld. It's a potentially harmful condition and if you go on taking fructose it will lead to nash - liver cirrhosis. A life threatening condition.

Nothing comes freely in life . It is a package deal .Mango , banana , water melon , dates ,chikoo , coconut all are good if taken in limited quantity.

Coconut the best fruit.
Well if you want to use chikoo, dates and all the other fruits at the cost of getting nafld and nash if you go on consuming high fructose fruits it's fine.
in reply to suramo
I don't have nafld or any other problem . My Diet consists mostly fruits. with the excess use of pesticides and chemicals nothing is safe to day .Since we have to eat something to survive we have to eat . Of all the items of food we consume the most dangerous are dairy products , vegetables and meat.
It is best to avoid fruits
Any practical reason
I have tried different fruits in limited quantities. It spiked the Sugar levels. When I stopped the sugar came under control. I have seen a similar report in Shooter George's reports.

"Fructose is more fattening than glucose
I argue that the fructose is far worse than glucose because it causes fatty liver directly and therefore insulin resistance. This feeds into the vicious cycle of hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance. I believe that it is the insulin resistance cycle that sets the ‘Body Set Weight’ and to successfully lose weight in the long term, you must address this cycle.
Both glucose (starches) and fructose play a role, but enter the cycle at a different point. If you eat massive amounts of carbohydrates in the form of glucose, it is still possible that you do not develop this vicious cycle if you do not have any fructose. As an example, the Chinese diet of the 1990s was extremely high in white rice (a refined carbohydrate and with lots and lots of glucose) but almost no fructose. They were also not eating 32 meals spaced throughout the day, so they weren’t keeping insulin levels high.
Intermap1Under this circumstance, there was very little obesity and even less type 2 diabetes. As the diet began to Westernize, and sugar consumption increases, this is simply a recipe for disaster and China has now passed the US in diabetes prevalence.
Since sucrose (table sugar) contains both glucose and fructose, it is especially dangerous. Fructose can only be metabolized by the liver, so 1 pound of sugar has 1/2 pound of both glucose and fructose. The entire body uses the glucose, but only the 5 pounds of liver needs to metabolize the same amount of fructose. Furthermore, the fructose will not be metabolized to glucose in the liver, because the body has just taken in a bunch of glucose. The body does not need any more glucose. Instead, the body will get busy turning that fructose into fat through de novo lipogenesis. Hey presto – fatty liver. Hey presto – insulin resistance. Hey presto – increased body set weight. Hello, diabesity.
Fructose-consumption4So, I believe that fructose is something like 20 times more fattening than glucose (starches), as we discussed last week.
So it is not really true when somebody says that eating a bowl of rice is the same as eating a bowl of sugar. A bowl of sugar is more like eating 20 bowls of rice. That is why fructose, specifically, is so, so fattening. That is really why reducing sugar is the most important step in reducing obesity. That is why those true calorie believers are so dangerously ignorant when they say that sugar is no worse than any other calorie. This, of course is the point behind Gary Taube’s excellent new book ‘The Case against Sugar‘.
The sources of fructose
guyenetSugar-768×498So what are the top sources of fructose in the diet? Beverages is the top source of sugar and should obviously be reduced. But the issue is whole fruit. It makes up a sizeable 18% of dietary intake. Should we reduce it? I confess that I do not have a good answer here. Biochemically, there is no difference between fructose in fruit and fructose in sugar.
However, there are an number of mitigating factors in whole fruit, including fibre. Is it enough? There is no good answer. Epidemiologic evidence does NOT link whole fruit consumption to obesity or diabetes, but that is not quite enough for me to give it a free pass.
Without adequate data, the best answer I can give is this. If whole fruit is the worst that you do in your diet, that’s OK. However, if you need to reduce weight, then consider reducing fruit. Yeah, I know, not a very good answer.
In response to Gary Taube’s book, there have been some who have responded that dietary consumption of sugar peaked and yet obesity continues to go up. This is considered ‘proof’ by some that sugar does not play a large role in the cause of obesity.
At first glance, this may appear to be true, and is certainly persuasive. However, a closer look reveals the truth."

During this mango season once a week ripe mango flakes weighing about 150 gm, with 2 spoon pure ghee or curd OR bigger portions of unripe mango, will outweigh its disadvantages due high amounts of other nutrients it has.. surely eat it if you love this fruit.
no..no mango for diabetes
We can consume two mangoes per day with out any risk and there is no need to go for walk . The fructose in mango has to be outsmarted by reducing drastically carb content in the other foods.This is an experimental verification .Even then if there is fear of sugar spike one can take one half of mango. Then the next day can go for one mango .
Proof of pudding is in eating .Let people take half and then increase the quantity and see .
My guru is DR.BM.Hegde
Modern scientific data is not always correct .I once again request you to go through DR.B.M.Hegde's articles .
2 mangoes took my blood sugar levels to cross 250 once.
Also fructose is metabolized in liver and gets converted to fat. Uric acid is the byproduct. So fat and uric acid is an issue with fruits

Other day I had 2 mangoes...my ppbs was within limit....but next day morning i could see elevated FBS....
I continue to test BS daily multiple times since I am still not confident about my understanding of how different foods affect me. I love mangoes as others do but rarely took it nin past due to my DM 2. However last year I tried a few slices quite a few days along with some curd (to be safe). From my accucheck readings I concluded occasional cheating may not harm me much (and so is the fact with my Sandesh - a sweet available in Bengal). But I am not sure how much good they do to my health. Only thing is that life becomes happier.
