Avocado fattening?

MYTH - The avocado, though quite caloric, if consumed in adequate quantity does not cause weight gain. Contrary to what many think, the fat in avocado is not saturated fat, but a type of healthy fat, the monounsaturated able to increase the HDL (good) cholesterol and reduce LDL (bad). Besides these benefits, the avocado contains vitamin E, minerals and glutathione, a powerful antioxidant.
