Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

When consuming your favourite fruit is forbidden by your doctor or dietician, it is time to find out why rather than trying to have more of it on the sly. Conventional diet advice for weight watchers and diabetics puts mangoes on the red list, and not without reason. Keeping scientific information about mangoes in mind, recommendations about the fruit warrant a relook. This is because of its impact on body weight, blood sugar, and health. It's true that ripe mangoes are high in carbohydrates and sugars and have a high glycemic index. One of the seventh most popular fruits worldwide, it provides roughly 80 kilocalories per 100 g (a medium-sized ripe mango would carry about 130–150 calories), which mainly comes from carbohydrates (20 per cent).

Due to their high sugar content, mangoes are high in calories. But does this mean that diabetics and weight-watchers should be banned from having it? The answer is no, if one adjusts for calories, i.e., substitutes it with an equivalent amount of calories and carbohydrates in the meal.

Better still, combine it with a low-glycemic food. Low-glycemic foods include pulses, legumes, low-fat dairy (milk, curd), vegetables, nuts, and seeds. So mangoes can make a safe entry into the diet if one is able to keep the caloric intake and carbohydrates constant, i.e., take the right amounts. With over 2,500 varieties around the world, the popularity of mangoes clearly lies in their aromatic sweetness. This tropical fruit can also boast a huge array of impressive health benefits.

The mango is known to be an excellent source of many vitamins, such as vitamin C (ascorbic acid), B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin), and vitamin A (B-carotene). Ripe mangoes generally possess a higher number of phenolics, researchers say. This makes mangoes a good source of antioxidants with anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. With reasonably good fibre content, it provides a good combination of soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre is good for digestion, and its insoluble variant is good for the management of blood cholesterol and sugar levels.

But before you start planning a mango party, there is a need for caution. Remember that mangoes, being high in sugar, predominantly fructose, should be consumed in appropriate portions. This is particularly true for weight-watchers, diabetics, and those with high cholesterol levels.

Question:
What advice is given in the passage to diabetics and weight watchers?

Option 1: Do not eat mangoes as it is too high in sugar.

Option 2: Eat mangoes but balance the intake of vitamins.

Option 3: Eat plenty of mangoes as it has impressive health benefits.

Option 4: Eat mangoes, but combine them with a low-glycemic food.
