Answer;

The above statement is False

Explanation;

  • Saturated fats are types of fats that lacks double bonds or triple bonds between any two carbon atoms because they are saturated with hydrogen molecules.
  • Saturated fats should be limited at all costs. Eating foods with saturated fats raises the amount of cholesterol in the blood which may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
  • Avocados contain over 75% fat that is unsaturated or the good fats, and the rest are unsaturated or the bad fats. Therefore, saturated fats found in avocados are not good and should be limited.
