163 People Ate 1 Avocado per Day - Here’s What Happened to All Metabolic Markers

What was said

"163 people that were overweight or obese. 12 weeks they gave them meals with or without one fresh hos avocado per day. Okay. And again they matched calories. Okay? So nothing here is from eating more food. Their gut diversity went up."

Thomas DeLauer says a Journal of Nutrition study of 163 overweight or obese adults over 12 weeks found higher gut microbiome diversity with one avocado a day. He argues the reported bacterial shifts could support short-chain fatty acids and better insulin and blood-sugar outcomes.
