Chilean extra virgin avocado oil is free of cholesterol and trans fats. The oil has a high level of monounsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleic acid, which help lower levels of unhealthy LDL-cholesterol in the body, and increase levels of healthy HDL-cholesterol, while aiding the body’s digestion of omega-3 fatty acids from other foods, so helping to prevent heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, obesity and diabetes. The oil also has high levels of vitamin E, a natural antioxidant that protects the body from free radicals and slows down the aging process; and phytosterols (beta-sitosterol) which help to reduce blood levels of cholesterol, and inhibit intestinal cholesterol absorption.

Thanks to all these qualities, avocado oil is an ideal component of a healthy diet.
