According to an article published by the Daily Mail , avocado pits could be able to reduce swelling . The discovery suggests that they can do wonders for good health.
Researchers of the Pennsylvania State University found that the extract of avocado seeds reduces swelling caused by white cells , however, the experts are still skeptical and say that the research is still in its first stages and that previous studies have shown that, if consumed in great amounts , avocado pits could be toxic .
On the other hand, another study also conducted by Penn State in 2013 , highlighted that Aztecs and Mayans used avocado pits to treat several diseases including diabetes, gastrointestinal problems, and parasitic infections.
In addition, researchers of the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESM) found that the avocado pit is an alternative to reduce cardiovascular diseases and diminish the risk of cancer related to the consumption of preservatives.
The group headed by researcher Carmen Hernández Brenes found molecules called acetogenins that can be used as medicines and food preservatives .
For now, the research continues , but what is a fact is that the rest of the avocado is very healthy since it can raise the levels of HDL or good cholesterol , increase the absorption of nutrients of other foods, and help with weight loss .
