How fattening are avocados?
Avocados do have a lot of fat, so for a long time they were avoided. However, they're finding that most of the fat in an avocado is monounsaturated -- the good kind that actually lowers cholesterol levels. So, eat up! ChaCha!

About Fat
Fat is a nutrient that is essential for the body to function normally. Fat supplies energy to the body and makes it possible for the other nutrients to do their jobs. Unfortunately, we often consume far more fat than is necessary, which can lead to excess cholesterol and obesity, which are two factors that increase the risk of heart disease.
