Basically, the scientists carefully designed three diets: - low-fat - medium-fat - AVOCADOpic.twitter.com/y7tse15NNl

Yes, this research was funded by the Hass Avocado Board, the organisation for the most commonly-grown avocado in the world (who the senior study author also works for) In other words, BIG AVOCADOpic.twitter.com/AgfBmsVIxY
(As a side note, I'm confused how you can be employed by an organisation and then claim that they had no role in your study design - sure, not your primary role, but still...)
Another ~truly amazing~ thing about this study? The trial registration specifies 4 primary outcomes (total cholesterol, HDL, trigs, AND LDL) They only reported one I WONDER WHY THAT MIGHT BE????pic.twitter.com/TwaDjM733C
There is some mention of HDL cholesterol, but only in reference to CETP (enzyme changes), nothing on differences between diets and nothing at all on triglycerides or total cholesterol!!!pic.twitter.com/J85nBIjNaJ
In summary: - industry-funded study - showed pretty much no benefit for avocados - didn't report 3 out of 4 primary outcomes (!) - probably doesn't apply to most people anyway
