Monounsaturated Fats

Have you or someone around you ever gasp at the thought of eating an avocado? “They’re so high in fat!” That is what many people say, and yes avocados are high in fat, and not too long ago, avocados were on the ‘do not eat’ list. However, times have changed, science has changed. Avocados may be high in fat, but it is the good fat…Monounsaturated fat. These fats are proven to lower blood cholesterol. So now you know the truth about avocados. It is my number one pet peeve when someone picks on me for eating my avocado sandwich. So, if someone tries to do it to you, explain to them about monounsaturated fats and that your body needs these fats. Not only do avocadoes carry monounsaturated fat, but also olive oils, peanut oils, sesame seed oils, and canola oils.
