I’ve heard a lot of times that certain fruits like bananas and mangoes have more sugar levels in them because they are sweet tasting. I saw a lot of people eat non ripe ones saying it’s fine though. What’s the difference?

Starch is a bound chain of sugars. think links in a chain
this is time stable calories
as it ripens some sugar is clipped off the starch molecules
when eaten the calories in the sugar is available sooner
So when you eat a ripe sweet fruit, the sugars will be rapidly be absorbed in your gut and into your blood
your blood sugar level will go up
If the food is not sugary, say under ripe or starchy, the extra step of un-linking the starch into sugars will have to happen
but it will happen
and the starch will be made into sugar into sugar and then absorbed from your gut into you blood
If a small amount so starch is eaten likely not a spike in blood sugar
The equivalent amount of sugar will be absorbed mush faster
and if enough give a notable jump in blood sugar levels
However a huge meal of starch as it is digested will raise your blood sugar level
