! (Do you love avocado? I love guacamole, but I don't think that's what they are suggesting! Research recently published in The Hill, shows that eating avocado, at least 2 servings per week, could cut the risk of heart issues by 21 percent. In this 30 year study, over 100 thousand diets were followed and found that the dieters who used avocado in place of unhealthy fats had a 16-22 percent less chance of heart problems.
