Lisa, did you know that half a mango has 16.2 grams of sugar in it? or is that fructose, read this link here:-

I looked again & that's 16.2 grams of FRUCTOSE in it. I was shocked!!
So I decided to look at the Food Standards website, and they say per 100 grams, there is 11.2 grams of sugars. So I guess the first site is suspect, especially when you read how the Food standards got to their results. Link here:-

So I guess it's ok, your call, as long as you don't use too much at a time. My fave thing with mangos is mango chutney to have with Indian foods, yummm..
I guess whoever gave us the Dr Mercola link (Jas, I think it was) might want to re-think it all, as he is selling his products, I think it's up to us to be wary of such people's claims, unless backed up by research.
Good luck with the mayo, Lisa.
