avocado is very good for you. it has many health benefits (i.e. moisturizes skin, and helps hydrate hair), and has been linked to decreasing your chances of getting breast cancer! it also has been shown to inhibit prostate cancer! adding avocado in a salad helps your body to better absorb the nutrients from all the raw veggies you would be consuming, aiding your body in actually making good use of the vitamins and minerals. don't let anyone fool you, avocado is very good for you, and it tastes yummy!! i love it! i personally put it in my wraps that i make for lunch, and i can't seem to get enough of it! also, it's high in potassium, just like bananas! don't spend too much time trying to determine what's really good for you and what's really bad. what's more important is you eating healthy, and giving your body all the necessary nutrition! bon apetit!

For us guys, its high in protein and anti oxidants with no fat and low cholesterol. That and it's rumored to be an aphrodisiac so pass me the guacomole and party on!

i believe avocado contains the good kind of fat--poly unsaturated. it is great for your skin.

i dunno about a fad i have always loved them
but yes they do have a very high fat content
some stupid study probably came out saying it fights some random disease.. in a few years they'll probably come back and say they cause cancer.
