REVEALED: Avocados may not be good for your heart after all

Avocados may not actually be that healthy for everyone.
They’re definitely tasty but for some people they may actually increase the probability of heart disease.

Ironically the good cholesterol contained in foods such as avocados, nuts and fish could cause the trouble, according to a Cambridge University report.



Researchers studied people who had a higher amount of high density lipoprotein, which comes from good cholesterol, as a result of a genetic mutation.
Results from blood tests showed their chance of getting heart disease increased by a massive 80 per cent.


Professor Adam Butterworth, who worked on the project, told the BBC, ‘This is one of the first studies to show that some people that have high levels of “good” cholesterol actually have a higher risk of heart disease so it challenges our conventional wisdom about whether “good” cholesterol is protecting people from heart disease or not.’
