origskeemr Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 I know its very fattening, but someone the other day informed me that it has good fat in it. What's the deal with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizard23 Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 See below - they are really good for you, 5 grams of fat is not that much (plus it's healthy fat, like what's in fish and olive oil) and they only have 55 calories. http://www.avocado.org/health/2000_118.php?sd=health Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elitesnautica Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 avocado, olive oils, fish oils, flaxseed oil - all contain CIS unsaturated fats. Versus saturated or trans-unsaturated fats.What this means is that the CIS-isomer has a double bond between the carbs which does not allow it to stack like saturated or trans unsaturated fats; therefore, it is liquid even at lower temperatures.Not only to cis fats not clog arteries but that also help clearing them by attaching to the present fats in the body and removing them.Nautica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
