Influence of avocados on serum cholesterol.

It is particularly important that the public know the nutritional value of the avocado, especially the oil content and the part it plays in our proper nutrition. Most people think of the avocado as fattening or have never heard much about this fruit. It is apt to be considered a luxury fruit. Even with potatoes and tomatoes selling for more per pound than avocados, it is difficult to impress the housewife with the fact that the avocado, with its greater proportion of vitamins, minerals, fat, carbohydrate, protein, and unnamed benefits, is a MUCH BETTER BUY for her family.
