An unexpected fruit that damages eyes

Several dietitians and ophthalmologists have identified a fruit whose excessive consumption can negatively affect eye health. As it turns out, mango can be dangerous for vision when consumed regularly and without control.

Specialists explain that mango contains high levels of carotenoids and fructose, which in large quantities can cause metabolic disorders in the body. Excess carotenoids can lead to carotenemia - a condition where the skin and whites of the eyes take on a yellowish tint, indicating liver overload and reduced ability to remove toxins.

Additionally, mango has a high glycemic index, and sharp spikes in blood sugar can negatively affect the blood vessels of the retina, especially in people prone to diabetes.

Ophthalmologists recommend consuming this fruit in moderate amounts to avoid possible vision problems. They also remind that a balanced diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as omega-3 fatty acids, will help maintain eye health for many years.
