In recent months, the avocado has become THE fashionable fruit. It comes naturally on the plates and has even become the main theme of bars located in New York and Amsterdam, and even inspires the artists who sculpt its flesh. So of course, it's excellent, but you still have to limit yourself:even if it is composed of 80% good fat, it still contains 114 to 360 calories depending on the season and origin.

But the most important thing is that it contains only 70% of the fatty acids contained in a classic avocado, information that has been confirmed by researchers specialized in healthy food from the Spanish Heart Foundation. The brand claims that Avocado Light is an ideal ingredient for "smoothies, cold soup, gazpacho and cocktails", as reported by the American site Grubstreet . Its distribution, which begins at the end of October, will only be in Spain for the moment. But don't be disappointed, because for British nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert, no one needs such a product in their life. She explains that we should stick to the traditional avocado whose unsaturated acids help reduce cholesterol and limit the risk of heart disease and cancer. “The problem is that these so-called low-fat avocados send a negative message by demonizing a rich, natural fruit that is widely recommended for consumption in a healthy diet “, she told The Independent . We tend to agree with her… Stop the war on fat, we must not forget that having fun is essential to have a good relationship with food. On good terms…
