Avocados are commercially valuable fruits cultivated in tropical climates throughout the world.

The fruits process numbers of healthy benefits, including reduced levels of bad cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose, promoted healthy heart,……ameliorated symptoms of arthritis,….. and eye health.

Avocados also were promoted by dietitians, nutritional health professionals as functional food used conjunction with conventional medicine for therapeutic proposes.

The fruits contain several natural vitamins, minerals, fibers and proteins, including,

1. Vitamin K
2. Dietary fiber

However, avocados also can cause some adverse effects that were not clearly illustrated by professionals and health caregivers, according medical literature.

It is my advice that everyone who enjoys the fruit occasionally and daily should fully understand the health benefits and the adverse effects of avocados, particularly people who have liver problem or currently are taking conventional medicine to treat chronic ailments and women who are pregnant or breast feeding.

Side effects of avocado
1. Latex allergc effects

Skin product of avocado oils may contain latex which can cause skin side effect in people with hypersensitivity.

Symptoms of hypersensitivity to latex.include reddening of the skin, itching, hives, or eczema.

In serious case, the latex can induce anaphylactic response, causing swelling of the airways and difficulty of breathing.

According to the Hospital Universitario Insular, the nature of latex is complex, it is an allergenic mixture that depends on chemical, immunological and epidemiological variables.

 

 Latex proteins show strong cross reactivity with several proteins from fruit and vegetable grains. including avocado(1).

 

Washing the avocado with a food-safe wash to the remove chemicals from the skin can be helpful.

2. Liver damage
Avocado may cause liver damage as a result of collagen accumulation in the liver

According to the study using V79 cells and Swiss mice conducted by the joint investigation lead by the Universidade de Franca, injection of the highest fruit pulp oil of P. americana (PAO) dose showed a significant increase of the levels of aspartate aminotransferase, the indication of hepatic/tissue damage. 

 

Dr. Nicolella HD, lead scientists said, “This effect may be related to high concentrations of palmitic acid, the main component of PAO”(2).

3. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Avocado may be unsafe during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

According to medical literature, eating avocado during pregnancy and breast feeding may reduce milk production(5). 

 

Some researchers even suggested that intake of avocado (no quantity given) may also cause damage to the mammary gland.(5) 

 

 Breast feeding mother consumed avocado in large amount can cause problems of upset stomachs to the baby.

4. Drugs Interaction
According to the standardized approach to elucidate the use of herbal medicines and their linked interaction with conventional medicine study, lead by the Makerere University College of Health Sciences, use of herbal medicine including Persea americana may cause adverse drug reactions(3).

Furthermore, Avocado may interact with”blood thinning” medicine.

In the review of possible interactions that may occur between Warfarin and fruit study, researchers found that avocado may interact with Warfarin, the anticoagulant (blood thinner)(4).

5. Persin toxicity
It may cause symptoms of gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, diarrhoea, respiratory distress, congestion, fluid accumulation due to toxic fatty acid derivative, persin(5).

Please make sure you know all these side effects for preventive measure.
