For those of you who only eat avocados in guacamole form, congrats. However, do try them without anything else and you will know a simplicity and perfection not found in any other food. And, as (Member) already indicated, avocados have the "good fat" and are something to be consumed without relative worry.
P.S. I also adore olives. We should have an olives appreciation thread, as well.
Thanks for starting the other thread, Mr (Member). Just as I prefer not to adulterate avocado with olives in real life (much as I esteem them both) it's better not to dilute this avocado-centric chat with talk of Olea europaea.
The medical profession is eternally clueless when it comes to nutrition. One day it kills you, the next day it gives you eternal life.
As for the corporate media, everything they say or write must be taken with a mountain of salt and then quickly discarded.
No danger of eating more than half an avocado per day - more like half of one a week. Eating anything day in and day out would probably be bad for my health through utter boredom.

Please note that one of those links have nothing to do with the medical profession. The Daily Fail's citing SheerLuxe, which is citing MindBodyGreen, which is citing its in-house doctors, and all it's doing is hyperbolizing the no-shit-sherlock observation that eating large quantities of a high-calorie food can be fattening.

I appreciate that "in-house doctors" have "nothing to do with the medical profession."

Good stuff, mas.
There're peer-reviewed papers and evidence-based medicine, and then there're individual doctors paid for their opinions on a lifestyle website. Huge difference in credibility, usually.

To go further: in all professions, the literature is mushrooming faster than anyone, especially school curricula, can keep up with it. In the health professions they like to tell us in school that half of what we learn will end up being wrong, but there's no way of knowing which half. One of the most important things they can teach us is not how to do medicine but how to keep up with and critically think about the literature in our field so that we don't end up doing things just because that's how we learned to do them in school.
In the past week alone I've been given potentially fatal misinformation from two different doctors.
As a snack or sliced and used in maki rolls, yes. As a color scheme for household appliances, no. Yet until ~10 years ago I did indeed have both a stove and fridge that were "avocado green" and still functioning when we replaced them.
