Avocados are one of nature’s whole foods -- a natural for today’s healthy lifestyles. This power-packed fruit has just 5 grams of fat per serving ( 1/5 of an avocado). The majority of the fat is monounsaturated -- the same type found in olive oil -- which studies have shown may increase HDL (good) cholesterol, but has little effect on LDL (bad) cholesterol.
