People seem to be afraid of them for 2 reasons, High in Fat and Calories. Well people the Fat is a GOOD Fat and if your like me one that eats allot of Chicken then you need to get more Fats. If your like me and Carb sensitive and I mean even with the Good Carbs and this makes you keep your Carb intake below 40% of your daily then you need to add more Fats and some Avocado can help you achieve this. Avocado's aren't Bad for you it's what people do to them that make them bad like adding Mayo and or Salt. Try it with Garlic Powder and or Cayenne Pepper Powder toss some in a Salad put some in a Taco or Burrito ect! -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

In one study of people with moderately high cholesterol levels, individuals who ate a diet high in avocados showed clear health improvements. After seven days on the diet that included avocados, they had significant decreases in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, along with an 11% increase in health promoting HDL cholesterol. ============ Quoting from ravenbeauty: Actually avocado is a fruit. :) I love those things too, but they aren't great on cholesterol. ============= -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!
