Allergies (rare, but possible):
Some people are allergic to avocado, especially if they are also allergic to latex (latex-fruit syndrome).
Interactions with blood thinners:
Due to its vitamin K content, it may affect people taking warfarin or other blood thinners.
Kidney stones (if predisposed):
Its potassium and oxalate content can be harmful to people with kidney problems if consumed in excess.
Bottom Line:
A quarter to half an avocado per day is a healthy serving.
Combined with a balanced diet, it is not only harmless, but also protects the heart, skin and brain.
Would you like me to give you a medicinal recipe based on avocado or its stone?
