The past guidance, which was established more than 20 years ago, focused on Total Fat per serving and the new proposed guidance gives consideration to the breakdown between good (unsaturated) and bad (saturated) fats in light of evolving nutrition research. Avocados contain 8 g of fat per 50 g serving, over 75% of which are good fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats). Avocados comply with the new guidance because they have a fat profile of predominantly monounsaturated (good) fats. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hispanics awareness of the good fats in avocados has been steadily growing and last tracked at 68%,<sup>1<\/sup>&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Emiliano Escobedo<\/span>, Executive Director of the Hass Avocado Board. &#8220;We&#8217;re excited that our communications will now match up with what Hispanics already know: avocados are a source of good fat and healthy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Eating fruits and vegetables, like healthy avocados, is associated with a reduced risk of many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, and may be protective against certain types of cancers, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
