Greetings, greetings, greetings. Thanks for tuning in. Eric Bakker coming back to you with another video. We have a question here from somebody called Slytherin. It's a weird name, Slytherin. Sounds like a snake or something, Slytherin. Wasn't that off ... what's that guy now with the glasses again, with all those goblins and stuff? Harry Potter. Slytherin.

I have a question. "Hello, sir. Are avocados okay? I have an extreme case of yeast infection but I was told that tomatoes are okay because they're sweet. No. Tomatoes were not okay because they're sweet and avocados are okay. Now I don't know what to eat and what not to eat. I eat one avocado every day. Please help me. I appreciate it."

I, every now and then, get a question from people if avocados are okay to eat. Well, I've yet to meet anyone with any kind of health condition who's not going to benefit from an avocado. I just did a bit of a Google search and I found that there was a dietician who said that they're actually not good for cancer patients and they have too high fat, and she actually says they're not really a food, they're just pure fat and to be careful with them with lung conditions and sinus and to avoid them with acne and stuff like that.

For God's sakes. I mean, what else are we going to tell people to avoid? We might as well tell them to hold their breath when they walk around and just breathe canned air in because only that's clean. How far are we going to go, pushing this whole health thing with people? It's ridiculous.

Avocados are, in my opinion, one of the pinnacle foods, one of the top world's five best foods, and I also rate in that group kale, blueberries, probably blackberries as well, dark plums, avocados, and fresh, wild caught salmon. Those foods, in my opinion, are the pinnacle foods. So don't touch my pinnacle foods. Leave them alone. Don't start hassling me and saying I can't eat those foods.

Avocado, a perfect food. When you really analyze the kind of fats in avocado and you have a look at the extremely high mineral and vitamin content, they're a very, very healthy food to eat. For meat eaters, for vegans, for pizza eaters, whatever eater you are, it's a superior food. And you can do everything with avocados. That's the great thing. You can make salads of them, you can actually bake with avocados. 

There's a trendy restaurant in Amsterdam I was just reading that actually make avocado ice cream, avocado tacos. Avocado hummus is very popular now. Make a beautiful drink.

So the health benefits of avocado are immense and for candida, I think they're a fantastic food. Of course you can eat avocado every day. We're often told to avoid avocado every day because it's high fat, but it's actually a good fat to eat. It's not a bad fat. Avocados are proven to have so many benefits for your health, especially when it comes to really improving your gut function, so if you can eat one apple a day and one avocado a day, you're taking a few, you're really adding a bit more time on your lifespan, as far as I'm concerned. These are the kinds of foods that you want to eat and want to snack on, so don't let people tell you that they're bad foods and things like that.

"I was told that tomatoes weren't okay because they're sweet." I mean, what kind of dumb advice is this? They're sweet. If you think about it, lettuce is sweet. Everything has got some type of a sweetness about it. Maybe lemons aren't sweet. So if you're going to avoid every food based on the presumption that it tastes a bit sweet, you're really going to end up eating newspapers and ice cubes. That's about all you'll end up eating because everything else has got some type of sugar in it.

So common sense. Tomatoes are perfectly fine to eat. In fact, though, it's interesting, way back in the 50's there was a guy called Dr. Norman Childers who recommend people avoid all solanaceas based on the assumption that they weren't good for animals and they could cause inflammatory mediators to go up in the body, and this has been pushed through as a big myth now for many, many years. So lots of people are avoiding potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, chile, all of those solanacea, nightshade foods based on the assumption that they cause inflammation in the body.

What a load of crap. I haven't found one shred of evidence online anywhere showing that the solanaceas increase inflammation in the body. Nothing. No scientific reports, no studies to back that up whatsoever.

So yeah, just be careful, and as I always say in my YouTube videos, there are a lot of parents out there, people who copy what other people say and they parrot it to somebody else. So don't listen to the parrots. You can eat the tomatoes and you can eat the avocados, and in fact, they make a great combination. They taste really nice together. So you're perfectly fine to eat them, and don't worry about the naysayers.

Thanks for your question.
