Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The objective of the study is to determine the effects of fresh mango pulp consumption on satiety and metabolic parameters in overweight/obese adults.

Do I need to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

The trial requires that you do not need any medication for metabolic disorders, so if you are taking such medications, you may not be eligible to participate.

What data supports the effectiveness of fresh mango pulp consumption for satiety?

Research shows that eating fresh mango can make you feel fuller and less hungry compared to eating low-fat cookies or white bread. It also helps keep blood sugar levels more stable after eating, which can be beneficial for people who are overweight or have type 2 diabetes.12345

Is mango consumption generally safe for humans?

There is no specific safety data available for mango consumption in the provided research articles.678910

How does fresh mango pulp consumption as a treatment for satiety differ from other treatments?

Fresh mango pulp consumption is unique because it not only promotes greater feelings of fullness compared to refined snacks like low-fat cookies, but it also helps stabilize blood sugar levels more effectively than dried mango or white bread. This makes it a natural and nutritious option for improving satiety and managing post-meal blood sugar levels.123411

The study estimated the theoretical maximum daily intake of Sunset Yellow (SY) food dye in the Brazilian population, finding that average consumption did not exceed the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 4.0 mg/kg body weight for most groups.
However, certain demographics, particularly adolescents and individuals in specific urban and rural areas, may consume levels of SY that approach or exceed the ADI, potentially posing health risks.
