When overweight or obese people eat a small amount of mango or a cookie with the same calories, there's no difference in the levels of leptin, ghrelin, or PYY hormones after 45 minutes.

Scientific Claim

Consumption of 100 kcal of fresh mango or isocaloric low-fat cookies in overweight and obese adults shows no significant differences in leptin, ghrelin, or peptide YY (PYY) levels at 45 minutes post-consumption.

Original Statement

“There were no significant differences in satiety hormones leptin, ghrelin and PYY levels between the two snacks.”

When overweight or obese people eat a small amount of mango, a hormone called adiponectin goes up after 45 minutes, but eating a cookie with the same calories doesn't have this effect.

Both a small amount of mango and a cookie with the same calories make a hormone called CCK go up after 45 minutes, and they do this to about the same degree.
