Eating few mango varieties could help you lose weight, but only if you eat the skin you normally throw away, Australian researchers have claimed.
Advising that while eating the wrong variety of this fruit could have the opposite effect.
University of Queensland scientists have found the skins of the common Irwin and Nam Doc Mai varieties contain compounds that inhibit the formation of human fat cells.
On contrary, the skin of the Kensington Pride mango has compounds that promote fat cell growth, according to an AAP report.
Mike Gidley said lab tests involved exposing human fat cells to extracts from the skin and flesh of three varieties.
He said there was a long way to go, but the findings opened up the possibility of a supplement that could help fight obesity.
“The next stage is to identify the useful molecules in the peel that inhibited fat cell formation,” Mr. Gidley said.

May I know the names of variety types of mangoes in Indian name ?
Hindu should make its writers do a little bit of research to make such articles useful. The headline is itself misleading It should be mangoskins not mangoes. But what is in the mangoskin which helps reduce fat is not clear!
It's not bad an article at all. Some information is always better than no information. I did some google-image research and I believe the Irwin mangoes resemble the 'Kalapettai' variety. The redness of the skin and the small fibre covered seed suggests it's some sort of cousin to 'Kalapettai'. I think this variety is very popular in the Andhra districts. Anyways, i am not completely sure of my little research. Perhaps, you guys too could do some homework!
The varieties are Australian, not local.
This is called as 'ottu' or ' kilimooku'. Taste is fine.
thothapuri or round mango
Please give us the Indian equivalent..
Second variety is "thothapuri" - as in Kannada. Alternatively, you can google-out the names for images and get to know the varieties.
This is what happens when there is a disconnect between subject matter experts (Indian farmers) and academics. Western countries have successfully managed to install farmers as credible academics in that people form the farm design courses on agriculture etc. When the Australians scientists discovered is observed in small towns and villages, where manay people do eat Mangoes and other fruits with the skin.

by mangoes than run for a place 2-4 km from your place where you can get
MANGOES.
can you please tell us which variety of mango is useful for weight loss.
Oh Now the Thailand, Indian Hi tech Agro experts are doing what american doctors and
experts do. They pick one chemical and say it is good for this and publish an article. You
eat a fruit because it is good for you. Dont look into each element in it and then add it to
your diet. After years they will say that " that chemical when you have X gms of it will cause
cancer of some part... Oops". Look at the entire food plate.
All the mango's name mentioned in the article are used to be found in
US, so I guess this article is not for us.
Without the equivalient Indian names, this article does not make much sense. Going by the picture, it looks like the "Kizhi Mookku" falls under the good variety.
srikanth u asked the right question. these cut n paste writers do not bother to do basic research to give teh indian names. i even wonder whether they hv given teh picture of teh right mango atelast so we can help ourself. fm teh picture it looks like the totapuri(indian name) or kili mooku(tamil name) mango.
"Eating few mango varieties could help you lose weight..." should be
"Eating mangoes of a few varieties could help you lose weight ..."
"Few" and "a few" mean very different things. "Few" without the preceding article means none.
pls let us know indian varieties of mangoes for above mentioned benefits.
Very silly article. Just copy pasted from somewhere. What is the
relevance if you give names of mangoes that don't have any relevance in
India. These are not even grown in India. Do some real journalism and
take at least the trouble to research a little, ask questions, etc.
instead of taking trolling foreign websites or press releases to copy
into your newspaper and website. Hindu has become fat and lazy.

To Balareddi:
Make sure you eat mangoes as is. But if you add sugar into the milk sj\hake, you are NOT going to be saved from guaranteed obesity, diabetes and other diseases waiting around the corner to visit you. So eat always lots of vegetables and fruits. And also exercise and walk and do not watch too much TV. They are one of the best foods produced by nature.
One Mango a day is good.
Tamil nam: Kili Mooku manga, Kannada: Gini Moothi mavinkai, Telugu:
Toatha puri. Above info is known to our Indian forefathers for many
hundreds of years. Now some white foreigner says it's good and the
world goes gaga about it. What an irony? Similarly, there are dozens
of vegetables, nuts and fruits that are good for our health. Sad that
the current younger generation fancies fast JUNK food. They'll regret
when they are 50+ years when all sorts of ailments will manifest. And
with modern medications their life will just be extended and they'll
be spending all their savings on medicines, doctors and hospitals.
The varieties described in the article are not available in india. The title of the article
is also erroneous. It should read 'Mangoes with the skin can help fight the flab:
Study"
So only the fat are more interested in this article???
Wish you could also let us know the names of Indian varities of the Mangoes
no objective here unless the names of the varieties are translated in indian context so can identify which varieties
Can you let us know the mango varieties in Indian name's.
We usually like mango milk shake, but both are negative foods according to ayurveda (i.e. Virudha ahaara). We misdirected by the tongue from what our body deserve or want.
