I'm working on acquiring a taste thanks.

My understanding is that UofW is looking at pharma (big & small) through CCRM to produce a product that could be used in clinical trials. Unfortunately this approach, if successful, will lead to a VERY expensive treatment method.

Where I live, one avocado costs about $Can 1.00 (US$ 0.80). If simply consuming the nutty and creamy flesh on a regular basis, that would be a very cheap treatment indeed!

However, that sounds like one of those "too good to be true" things we all hear about every so often. Nevertheless, the research results are well documented and there is more potassium than a banana in an avocado, so that's an added benefit.
