Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. To determine if avocado intake substitutes for, or adds to, other sources of calories in the family diet.
2. To determine if avocado intake helps reduce between-meal snacking of family members.
3. To determine if avocados help families meet US Dietary Guidelines for recommended intake of: poly- and monounsaturated fats; vegetables; fiber; selected nutrients (vitamins C, D and E, Folate, Calcium, Magnesium, potassium, iron); lutein and other carotenoids.
Specific aim 2: To determine if increased avocado intake affects cardio-metabolic risk factors to include lipids, glucose, insulin, and HbA1c.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
High Intake Group
Throughout the entire study, this group will be provided with 14 avocados per week and will receive 12 bi-weekly home visits over a 6-month period during which they will receive specific brochures offering "diet tips". This group will be given specific advice on avocado consumption. Each month throughout the study, we will provide opportunities for families to visit the study kitchen at the SYHC to observe the staff preparing recipes with avocado, participate in preparing recipes, and taste recipes.
High-intake avocados
Families will receive 14 avocados on a weekly basis.
Diet tips
Diet tips will come from educational materials including culturally appropriate dietary and nutritional education materials, and personalized recommendations taken from http://www.choosemyplate.gov.
Avocado consumption advice
Recipe book with healthy recipe suggestions that include avocado.
Low Intake Group
This group will receive 3 avocados per week, as well as 12 bi-weekly home visits over a 6-month period during which they will be provided with the same educational materials (i.e., "Diet Tips") as those assigned to the "High intake" group. Participants in this group will be encouraged to improve the quality of their diets, but will not be given specific advice on avocado consumption. However, each month throughout the study, we will provide opportunities for families to visit the study kitchen at the SYHC to observe the staff preparing recipes with avocado, participate in preparing recipes, and taste recipes.
Low-intake avocados
Families will receive 3 avocados on a weekly basis.
Diet tips
Diet tips will come from educational materials including culturally appropriate dietary and nutritional education materials, and personalized recommendations taken from http://www.choosemyplate.gov.
Avocado consumption advice
