A whole avocado every day could be the secret to keeping heart disease at bay for overweight people.
Tests showed a 10 per cent cut in harmful cholesterol levels in seriously overweight volunteers who ate one a day for five weeks as part of a moderate-fat diet.
The fruit appears to interrupt the release of low-density lipoprotein, the ‘bad’ cholesterol that furs arteries and causes life-threatening blockages to the heart, say experts at Pennsylvania State University in the US.
