  • Description: This chapter addresses the potential health benefits of avocados and avocado bioactives. Research using in vitro and in vivo animal models has shown potential health benefits associated with avocado consumption that includes reductions in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, osteoporosis, cancer, and inflammation. Clinical trials have been limited primarily to studies of blood lipids and osteoporosis. While appearing highly promising, research studying the benefit on osteoporosis has been limited to a mixture of a product derived from avocados and soy products. The recent research that has focused on identifying calorie restriction mimetics is bringing new attention to this fruit. Specifically, avocado‐derived mannoheptulose continues to be investigated for its potential ability to address a wide range of health conditions. Given the potential for nutrition‐based health benefits associated with avocado consumption, it is anticipated that research using avocados and avocado‐derived products will greatly accelerate over the next decade.
