Natural Products for Cancer Prevention/Management (7)

Avocados

Avocados are native to Mexico and have been cultivated in tropical and Mediterranean climates throughout the world.  They are available in almost all grocery stores.

Avocado is a high fat food, but the majority of the fat comes from oleic acid; this is one of the reasons that avocados can lower blood levels of bad cholesterol and triglyceride. In addition to fat, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, avocados are rich in phytochemicals, which may reduce the risk of some chronic diseases, such as arthritis.  Some people believe eating avocados may have some cancer prevention effect.
