A FRUIT company in Spain has solved one of mankind's greatest health problems - well, not really.
The Isla Bonita fruit company has released a diet avocado that they have whimsically labelled 'Avocado Light'.

And the jury is in -- nope.
The fat in avocados is monounsaturated, meaning it can help lower bad cholesterol and keep you feeling full.
So why are companies breeding disingenuous avocados, you ask?
