American scientists will pay $ 300 to eat avocados every day.

Scientists suggest that avocados can lead to weight loss, but this is only a theory, and research is needed to confirm it.

Therefore, researchers are willing to pay volunteers who will eat avocados, in order to prove that a popular fruit can help people lose weight, writes CNBC.

Dr. Yoan Sabat, who runs the Center for Nutrition, Lifestyle and Disease Prevention at Loma Linda University (LLU) in Southern California, is looking for an 250 person to consume avocado pulp.

LLU and three other US universities will evaluate the theory that eating avocados can help with weight loss in a six-month study involving 1000 people (250 at each university).

Avocados contain more fat than any other fruit, but Sabat believes that other components of avocados can have fat burning properties.

“The study will analyze whether eating one avocado per day reduces the amount of fat in the intestines,” the scientist explained.

Study participants must meet the following requirements:

  • Age - from 25 years;
  • Be prepared to eat one avocado per day for six months, or eat only two avocados per month for six months;
  • Men should have a waist circumference of at least 40 inches (101,5 cm);
  • Women should have a waist circumference of at least 35 inches (89 cm).

Sabate said the participants will be divided into two groups. The test group will be given 16 avocados every two weeks; its members will need to eat one avocado per day for a six-month study. The control group will have to consume no more than two avocados per month for the same period.

Those who will be selected for research will be able to undergo an MRI scan free of charge and check their body condition, and they will also meet with a nutritionist once a month. Upon successful completion of the study, participants in both groups will be paid $ 300 each. And the control group members will be given 24 avocados, since they had to restrain themselves in the use of this product.

In addition to the LLU, the study is conducted by the University of Pennsylvania, Tufts University and the University of California at Los Angeles, each looking for 250 participants for research.
