These are the "food fats," and they appear to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, and raise the HDL (good) cholesterol levels. Fiber, potassium, magnesium, folate and antioxidants up the ante. Research show that avocado helps the body absorb more nutrients from other foods - the tomato in the same salad, for instance.
Beans - They haven't gotten the same media buzz as blueberries, but some beans have even more heath promoting antioxidants.
