Fiber-Rich Avo Spread

Posted on by

Researchers now say, “an avocado a day will keep the doctor away!” A study in the Journal of the American Heart Association used 45 overweight people measuring 3 different cholesterol lowering diets for 5 weeks.

One diet was lower in fat with 24% of total calories coming from saturated fat, and did not include avocado.

The second diet, also non-avocado, the total calories came from mostly saturated fats.

And the third diet was equally moderate in fat, at 34%, but replaced some of the saturated fats with one whole avocado a day.

Results were low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the bad cholesterol, was 13.5 mg/dL lower amoung the avocado eaters.
