Do you love avocados? Shocking side effects you might not know

Avocado popularity has been growing in India over the years, mainly among health-conscious urban consumers. Earlier, avocados were considered exotic and hardly found in the markets. They are now available in most supermarkets, restaurants, and online grocery stores. They are considered a "superfood" that contains healthy fats, vitamins, and antioxidants. The increasing popularity of avocado-based dishes like smoothies, salads, and avocado toast through social media trends has added to the demand.

Avocados have been long known as a nutritional powerhouse, rich in healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They have become a staple on toast, in smoothies, and as the star ingredient in guacamole. While avocados are known to have many health benefits, they are not without their potential downsides.
