Is guacamole fattening?

In: Diet and Weight Loss, Mexico, History and Origins of Foods [Edit categories]

Answer:

No; it has many vegetable oils that are good for your health: hypercholesterolemia patients that took a "guacamole-rich diet" showed a 17% decrease in total serum cholesterol levels. These subjects also showed a 22% decrease in both LDL (harmful cholesterol) and triglyceride levels and 11% increase in HDL (helpful cholesterol) levels. Additionally a Japanese team synthesised the avocado oil components and identified natural antibacterial components.

However, you should'nt add too much salt to guacamole; otherwise your blood pressure levels will increase.
