Ever wondered why the Hass avocado is leading the pack in sales? Thanks to James for this good one. Notably, the article mentions monounsaturated fat as good fats. But the cutting edge of science is probably going to determine them to be significantly less bad fats vs saturated fats (or overdoing calorie dense carbs, the excess, body fat inducing, amounts of which can be converted in the blood to saturated fat, essentially having the same effect as eating saturated fat if we overdo carbs which is most likely with calorie dense, refined sugar and starch sources) while polyunsaturated fats will likely hold the lead for good fats since they may, incalorie balanced amounts, help blood lipids (aka cholesterol, which is probably an outdated term). The real advantage of avocados is they typically can replace much more calorie dense, refined and/or high saturated fats - eg try avocado as an alternative to butter on a baked potato.
