The fruit is not high in antioxidants, so it does not belong to the group of superfoods. However, it contains other substances that stop the development of colon and breast cancer.

Mango prevents colon cancer and breast cancer, according to a study conducted by Texas AgriLife Research .

Mango is an ancient fruit consumed in many parts of the world. Little is known about his contribution to health. However, nutritionists are engaged in various studies to determine the nutritional value of the fruit.

It turns out that mango does not belong to the group of superfoods, which are characterized by the presence of large amounts of antioxidants. However, the fruit has other properties - it stops the growth of cancer cells, causing cancer of the colon and breast.

Experts are conducting laboratory tests with mango polyphenolic extracts on cancer cells of the colon, breast, lung, prostate and leukemia. Polyphenols are natural substances in plants.

The researchers found that the ingredients in the mango showed promising results in fighting tumor cells in the lung, prostate and leukemia. However, the properties of the fetus are most effective against colon and breast cancer cells - the most common cancers.

The study shows that not all types of tumor cells are equally susceptible. Experts are conducting further tests related to the effect of the fruit on colon cancer, as mangoes contain both large and small molecules of nutrients. The small ones are easily absorbed, unlike the large ones, which remain in the large intestine.

The ingredients in mangoes do not affect healthy cells in the body in any way, but only "attack" tumor cells. More research is needed in the field to confirm the findings.
