AVOCADOS 

Nutrient Content Claims
Low in saturated fat, Cholesterol free, Sodium free, Sugar free, Good source of fiber, Good source of folate, Good source of vitamin K, Good source of copper

Fresh avocados contribute nearly 20 vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that can help support heart health, weight management, type 2 diabetes and healthy living at every age. In fact, diets rich in healthy foods containing fiber, such as some vegetables and fruits, may reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes. Avocados are a good source of fiber as they contain 3 grams per one-third of a medium avocado.

They are a naturally sugar-free and sodium-free fruit and are virtually the only fruit with “good” fats (over 75 percent of the fat in avocado is unsaturated). Monounsaturated fat, the main type of fat in avocados, can help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels in the blood which may help lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Health Claims 

Dietary Saturated Fat & Cholesterol & Risk of Coronary Heart Disease:

• While many factors affect heart disease, diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of this disease. Avocados are a heart-healthy fruit. They are low in saturated fat, cholesterol-free, and provide naturally good fats.

Sodium & Hypertension:

• Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors. Avocados are sodium free.
• Low sodium eating patterns, which include vegetables and fruits (like avocado), may reduce the risk of high blood pressure. A diet rich in potassium can help offset some of sodium’s harmful effects on blood pressure. One serving of avocado provides 6% of your daily potassium needs.
