Avocados are becoming popular by the day because of its many known health benefits. Now, a new health study has found that consuming one avocado every day for six months can actually help reduce harmful cholesterol levels.   

A team of researchers, which included Penn State researchers, also discovered that those who consumed avocados had higher-quality diets throughout the study.

This was the largest and most thorough study to date on the health effects of avocados, including a large number of participants and the length of the study period. While earlier, smaller studies have found a link between eating avocados and lower body weight, BMI, and waist circumferences, this one involved a much larger population.
