ANNOUNCER:
WHAT’S THE NUMBER ONE FRUIT RECOMMENDED TO PARENTS AS THE BEST FIRST FOOD FOR BABY? PEDIATRICIANS AND AUTHORS DOCTORS JIM AND BILL SEARS SAY IT’S THE NUTRIENT DENSE CALIFORNIA AVOCADO. THE DOCTORS HAVE TEAMED UP WITH THE CALIFORNIA AVOCADO COMMISSION TO GIVE ADVICE ON INCORPORATING THE FRUIT INTO CHILDREN’S DIETS.
DR. JIM SEARS:
“Avocados are great for growing kids, they are one of the only fruits that contain monounsaturated fats. A one-ounce serving of avocado contains 3.5 grams of unsaturated fat, which are important for normal growth and development of the central nervous system and brain.”
DR. BILL SEARS:
“California avocados are, in our opinion, an ideal food for babies. It has a smooth, creamy consistency which is great for babies and ripe avocados can be served without any cooking which is a big time saver for parents.”
