Mostly Monounsatured Fat. Looking at a bottle right now and you have 10g of Monounsaturated Fat, 2g of Polyunsatured Fat, and 2g of Saturated Fat. Oleic acid is the fat that comes to mind when most people think of Olive Oil and its a type of Monounsaturated fat. Overall, olive oil is one of the best things that you can put in your body and I live off of it.

Avocados are a super food that makes you live longer they are very good for you. The benefits of the unusual fats in avacado far outweigh any potential negative effects.
