In the past, eating avocados was not considered to be necessarily beneficial. Being unaware of their beneficial properties, people used them mostly as avocado oil for different purposes. It wasn't until recently that the advantages of consuming avocados were noticed.
First of all, avocados have vital nutrients that help in lowering blood pressure. They contain as many as 20 kinds of vitamins and minerals. To be specific, avocados are rich in phytonutrients and folic acid. These nutrients are known to be beneficial especially in lowering blood pressure.
Secondly, avocados are good for a healthy pregnancy. As mentioned above, they are known to be rich in folic acid. Folic acid does not just lower blood pressure but also reduces the risk of miscarriage and neural tube defects during pregnancy.
Lastly, eating avocados can also save a lot of money. Some vegetarians tend to eat avocados because they taste similar to meat products and seafood. In this sense, people can save money by eating the meat-flavored fruit since meat is more expensive than vegetables in general.
Both the reading passage and lecture discusses about the effects of eating avocado. The former one provides three benefits of eating the fruit while the latter one challanges these benefits and asserts avocados have more negative impact.
First of all, the author of the reading passage says that avocado contains minerals and vitamins, typically phytonutrients and foclic acid, that help to reduce blood pressure. The lecture, however, contends that besides large amount of vitamins and minerals it also contains commensurate amount of fat. The professor points that an avocado contains nearly 29 grams of fats which have nearly 300 calories. So that, the person who intakes the fruit gains more weight. He goes on to say that increasing weight also increases the chances of blood pressure ultimately.
Secondly, the passage mentions that avocado helps in healthy pregnancy due to the presence of foclic acid. It claims that foclic acid reduces chances of miscarriage and neural tube defect. On the other hand the lecture says that eating avocado decreases milk production and also reduces the prodiction of memory glands. Further, avocados are not easily digested by baby stomach. These consequences are certainly not good for pregnancy.
Finally, the passage asserts that eating avocado saves money because it is similar in taste to meat. Vegetarians consider it as meat flavoured fruit and is also relatively cheaper than meat. In contrast, the professor argues that cost of buying avocado is equal to cost of apple, grapes or dozens of bananas. Moreover, growing avocado is costly since it requires gallons of water and there is significant waste of resources. This hinders the persuaiveness that avocados are cheaper.
