Avocados contain a phytonutrient called beta-sitosterol that has been shown to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Beta-sitosterol is a phytosterol that is similar in structure to cholesterol and leads to lower levels of cholesterol in the body via the hepatobiliary system (through excretion).
Avocados contain wonderfully healthy fats: monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Both MUFAs and PUFAs work to lower LDL levels (bad cholesterol)2 in the blood.
