It's time to face the facts: Your kid is not going to eat pomegranate and they're never going to eat Kale. But before you go back to convincing yourself that diets consisting of Goldfish Crackers and Fruit Roll Ups are perfectly fine, you need to read this!

 

A new study  by Texas AgriLife Research food scientists, who examined the five varieties of Mango most common in the U.S., says that mango has been found to prevent or stop certain colon and breast cancer cells in the lab.

 

It has about four to five times less antioxidant capacity than an average wine grape, and it still holds up fairly well in anticancer activity. If you look at it from the physiological and nutritional standpoint, taking everything together, it would be a high-ranking super food," Dr. Susan Talcott said. "It would be good to include mangoes as part of the regular diet."

 

According to CBSNews.com, the National Mango Board, based in Winter Park, Fla., has said that most mangoes consumed in the U.S. are produced in Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Guatemala and Haiti. Mangoes are native to southeast Asia and India and are produced in tropical climates. They were introduced to the U.S. in the late 1800s, and a few commercial acres still exist in California and Florida.
