Research indicates that avocados may help prevent cancer. In laboratory studies, avocados have been shown to slow the growth of prostate cancer cells. They not only alleviate chemotherapy side effects but may also enhance treatment effectiveness. Antioxidants and healthy fats could assist in combating cancer and reducing chemotherapy side effects, although most studies have been conducted in labs. Lutein and zeaxanthin may also shield your skin from UV damage (though sunscreen is still necessary!) and aid in repair.
