i heard from someone fruits like mangoes and durians and bananas....
they contain lots of sugar and its fattening...
well i love mangoes... but i wanna know if its true it is a NO NO for people on diet?
thanks...

[rufflezz]

No, mangoes actually have alot of vitamin C, not that much sugar.
Well, it actually depends if you have those really ripened one or still somewhat green.
If you do eat it, remember not to drink water after!

[chunkyfuffin]

why shouldnt we drink water after?

oh in science class i heard Vit C can be washed out by water so maybe if you drink water, you're diluting the Vit C so the effect isn't as great but yeah i think mango's are gd,i heard banana's arn't too gd for u but i don't like banana too much.

[chocobb]

water dilutes vitamin c?....i've had these vitamin c tablets where u put into your water and it dissolves so u can have flavoured vitamin c water...
i guess those were a waste of money then ...=.=

i've just started eating mango's, they have a weird taste kinda like what a pine tree smells like o.o
but i'm not aloud to eat bananas because they are fattening

The Calories in dole mangoes is only 70 according to: http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/92247.html

Just don't eat too much and I think it can be a good snack to have.

[katteriinka]

Mangoes are really good. Just don't eat too much, I guess.

Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin. You need water in order to absorb it.

[silver-typhoon]

Your body absorbs as much Vitamin C as it can and excretes the rest REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH WATER YOU DRINK. You'll find yourself with rather acidic pee if you take a lot of Vitamin C in and not a lot of water (I hear it's painful ).

As for fattening fruit... I heard avocados were the most fattening (so stay away from that if you're on a diet).

huh?
this is the first i'm hearing of bananas, let alone ANY fruit being fattening.

i try to eat bananas a few times a week, and they haven't put any weight on me.

[tengy]

bananas are high in calories

[suzic87]

Does it really matter. These are good fats and it's a fruit so I'm sure it's ok

[Azura]

they are not and mangoes are rich in vitamin C

[mintcracker]

they contain fructose, so it's good for you.
they're not fattening

[rufflezz]

Well, it's because you might get diarrhea. But I think it depends on some people.

avocado is a fruit that is really fattening
in chinese its literally called butter fruit

[hellocatty]

my personal trainer told me that avacados are the "fattiest" of fruits/veggies. I guess because it's kind of creamy?

speaking of which... what category does an avacado fall in?

[<3goesDOKIDOKI]

^avocado is considered a fruit. it contains cholesterol so its fattening. but i thought it was the good kind of cholesterol?
