Did you know?

Avocados contain everything a human body needs apart from vitamin C. (Only olives contain a comparable amount of fat.) The vitamin A they contain maintains a resistance against bacterial infection.

The exceptionally high amount of fat (25-30 per cent) will over-stimulate the gall bladder if you eat too many, because as soon as you eat fat, bile rushes into the duodenum.

Avocados are useful for people who want to increase weight: eat 1-2 a day. The sugars can be directly absorbed with minimal digestion.

The protein in an avocado is superior to cereal protein. The pulp of the fruit can be mixed with water and used as a substitute for milk. It is fibreless and makes a fine emulsion. It can safely be given to babies. In quality the avocado is superior to meat because it is free of bacteria. If you desire longevity, include avocados in your diet.
