Avocados have cancer fighting power, against oral cancer, prostrate cancer and possibly other types of cancer as supported by research conducted at Ohio State University's Comprehensive Cancer Center. Additionally, avocados are loaded with lutein which protects against eye diseases.
"Avocados are super-foods and loaded with nutrition and even cancer-fighting power," states nutritionist and food scientist, Dr. Marcia Walker, Fresherized Foods.
