Prevent cancer

There is some evidence that avocados can prevent cancer. Prostate cancer cells slow down in the lab when avocados are consumed. Not only do they reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, but they also seem to increase the effectiveness of treatment. It could be that antioxidants and healthy fats can help you fight cancer and the side effects of chemotherapy, even if they have only been tested in the test tube. In addition, lutein and zeaxanthin can protect your skin from UV rays (you still need sunscreen, though!) and repair damage.
