I read that long-term, they help with cholesterol. I've started maybe 2013 or 2014. My cholesterol runs a little high, but hasn't gotten worse over the years.

I usually just season the avocado with a little salt, pepper, cayenne, and Badia Complete. I tried avocado toast a couple of years ago and have it once in awhile as a treat. I bake my own bread, so it's a tasty combination. It's a favorite with my adult kids, too.

I think there are 2-4 servings in each avocado, so even if you don't get a varied diet, you're getting some vegetables in your diet.

Sounds interesting but complicated. I'll take it if prepared for me, not me doing it. UTUSN Jul 23 #7

Naw.. just pop the sardines and drain the oil into a bowl. Pore the sherry vinegar into the tin of sardines. mitch96 Jul 24 #15

I guess the question " what am I missing" was rhetorical? Bristlecone Jul 24 #11

By no means. Your suggestion is valuable, thanks. UTUSN Jul 24 #14
