[salvocm_shortcode campaign=”hass-avocado-board” title=”Q: Avocados are fatty? I am trying to avoid fats!” content=”A: Fats are actually essential to our bodies—they are a major source of energy and help our bodies absorb nutrients from the foods we eat. However, not all sources of fat are the same so it’s important to learn the differences and factor this in when planning your shopping list. The key is to limit foods that contain bad fats (such as full-fat dairy products, processed meats and sweets) and shift to foods that contain predominantly good fats like fresh avocados, peanut butter, nuts/seeds and plant oils.
