The<br />
Amazing<br />
Avocado<br />
This nutrient-rich fru<strong>it</strong> makes for more than just<br />
a delicious dip. And you don’t have to fear <strong>it</strong>s fat.<br />
For decades, the Food <strong>and</strong> Drug<br />
Administration’s defin<strong>it</strong>ion of<br />
“healthy” has been synonymous<br />
w<strong>it</strong>h low fat, which avocados<br />
decidedly are not. But the FDA is<br />
currently re-evaluating the term’s<br />
meaning on packaged food labels.<br />
Right now, a food can be labeled<br />
healthy if <strong>it</strong>s fat content is predominately<br />
mono- or polyunsaturated. That’s<br />
because the most recent scientific evidence<br />
suggests that eating more of those types<br />
of fat <strong>and</strong> less of artery-clogging saturated<br />
<strong>and</strong> trans fats can help your health.<br />
