You have no idea. I can eat one either before or after every meal. They’re so good.

When I first started having my heart problems back in '85, Avocados were a big no-no. Now they're recommended? HA!

I had a triple bypass in '86 and exercised and followed the Pritikin diet religiously (See my upstream post about running into Wilford Brumley). By '90 I was completely closed up again except for one of the bypasses that was 40% open. Since then I'm kept alive through medication.

Heart friendly diet? Yeah, OK. For me, who's been diagnosed with a system that is friendly to bad cholesterol, there's no such thing. So I go my own way.

BTW, my wife has high cholesterol now and eats oatmeal every morning. I don't like the stuff. She's also begun having 4 oz. of red wine a day (began this last week). I like that stuff, so...

It's as deadly as the dreaded dihydrogen monoxide.

I love avocados, and make a mean guacamole, but have always wondered about them... they are deadly to some reptiles and parrots.

We still eat them, but I eye them warily and always use a sharp knife, not a spoon, to carve them up, lest they attack.
