Cardiologist warns avocados may waste money

Cardiologist Dr Sanjay Bhojraj says avocados may be a waste of money unless dietary patterns are changed.

A study in the Journal of the American Heart Association found avocado eaters had improved LDL particle profiles but no significant weight loss.

Avocados are high in monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, lutein, and folate, which support heart health.

Avocados should replace unhealthy fats (e.g., butter, processed meats) in a diet, not be added on top, to benefit heart health.
