Weight loss and avocadoes

Posted by Nirmala N.

I was recently at a seminar about foods and alkalinity--the person leading the seminar asserted that alkaline foods help clean the blood and are therefore the most health-promoting kinds of foods you can possibly eat. She mentioned that avocadoes are especially good, because they are both cleansing and promote weight loss. Has anyone else heard this? I always thought avocadoes were high in fat so shouldn't be eaten in excess (she said you could eat several per day).
