Avocado and inflammation: can it improve your health?
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating avocado instead of refined carbohydrate foods (like white bread and sugary snacks) can reduce inflammation markers in your blood. If you have some signs of inflammation and extra weight around your middle, this might help researchers understand if avocado is a helpful dietary change.
