The Most Dangerous Cholesterol Eliminated With This Fruit

It’s a fruit loved by many and carries many health benefits.

Scientists have previously found this fruit to be heart healthy and that it could reduce LDL cholesterol (AKA bad cholesterol).

But a new study that has just been published in the Journal of Nutrition has now uncovered even more.

Apparently, this fruit can drastically lower another type of cholesterol, even worse than LDL cholesterol.

The scientists recruited 45 subjects, all of whom were overweight or obese and all of whom had high cholesterol.

They placed participants on a typical American diet for two weeks prior to the research so they could start with the same nutritional intake.

Each participant was asked to complete three diets in random order for a period of five weeks each:

A low fat diet that contained seven percent of its calories from saturated fat, 11 percent from monounsaturated fat, and six percent from polyunsaturated fat.

A medium fat diet that contained six percent of its calories from saturated fat, 17 percent from monounsaturated fat, and nine percent from polyunsaturated fat. (The monounsaturated fat consisted of high oleic acid oils).

A medium fat diet with exactly the same specifications as the one above, except the monounsaturated fat was obtained from a daily avocado instead of oleic acid.

At the beginning of the study and at the completion of each diet, they measured their participants’ overall LDL cholesterol, their large buoyant LDL cholesterol particles, their small dense LDL particles, their oxidized cholesterol, and their blood lutein.

As expected, the participant’s LDL and oxidized LDL cholesterol were lower after the avocado medium fat diet. Their lutein levels were also predictably higher.

This shows clearly that avocado helps lower cholesterol, not only by being a healthy monounsaturated fat, but also by being a strong antioxidant.

Oxidized cholesterol is overwhelmingly responsible for our current cardiovascular disease epidemic, and small dense cholesterol particles oxidize the most easily, which is why it is necessary to consume foods like avocado daily to prevent oxidation and this disease.

While consuming an avocado a day may help keep the doctor away, it’s still not enough to completely eliminate oxidized cholesterol. For that you need to cut out this ONE ingredient, you didn’t even know you were consuming…
