Cancer rates have risen since the jab. There could be more contributing factors in the test group that contributed to this outcome. Women are large consumers of avocados. I want to know who funded the study.
Good point. Avocados are often sprayed with pesticides, and it could be the simple fact that women are eating their avocados more from restaurants, or non-organic sources, compared to men, where they almost never wash their avocados before slicing and preparing them.
It’s immunization like in smallpox, polio, measles,chicken pox , diphtheria, tetanus, etc, had everything available at the appropriate time, never a problem, jab is used to play on the public’s fear😮
University of the West Indies is the main university in the Caribbean - has campuses on different islands throughout including Jamaica. This is avocado season in the Caribbean. We grow them in our yards so pesticides are not an issue. I dont eat imported avocadoes. It would be interesting to hear how avocados affect the women population in the Jamaican study since they are grown locally and without any chemicals.
Our families from grandparents and extended families used the avocado roots for treating illness and the leaves as a drink similar to drinking tea as a prevention program. No history of cancers at all. Pesticides was never used back then.
Thank you for looking into pesticides and avocados. I always thought it didn’t matter if I got conventional or organic avocados. From now on I will buy organic whenever possible.
Note: my mom and aunts all from the caribbean ate avocado with meals not every day. All lived in to late 80s none of them had breast cancer. Any thing in moderation is not bad. But who am I to say. Thanks for all your reports to Moss father and son...great reports.
Probably not sprayed with harmful chemicals when grown on the land. My gran grows advocados in her yard in the Caribbean . I live in England and have been eating them for as long as I can remember but they're imported.
Yes I was about to say that in Latin American countries Guacamole is eaten regularly so why didn’t they take a cross section from there as they said they hadn’t enough people in the trial to really come to a conclusion? I think this is a load of rubbish to be honest .
Olive oil is specifically good for breast cancer. I heard people were healing there cancer with panacur(fenbendazole) or ivermectin. Works by blocking the glucose to the cell.
@@michelledeacon4274 Thank you for your suggestions. I used to own a health food store and met a lot of people that took their health in their own hands I learn so much. You are absolutely right olive oil is powerful.,. I am on a strict diet no sugar, carbs and only healthy fats. Staying positive. Thanks again for your comment
My theory is related to hormone changes in older ladies. When the USDA tested 360 avocados, fewer than 1% had pesticide residues - and of those with residues, only one type of pesticide was found. Less than 2% of the avocado and sweet corn samples had any detectable pesticide residue. The Clean 15 (2023) Avocados had the lowest pesticide load, and consequently are the safest conventionally grown crops to consume from the standpoint of pesticide contamination:
Thank you so very much. I love the Moss Report, I have learned so much and I also implement your advice on data received. Have also passed on your reports to others. Looking forward to many more reports from you both !!!
I've never seen a youtube video before where a father was interviewed by his son 'and' with so much expertise between both ! Thank you !! Amazing !!!! Avocados !!!
Wow! Another amazing discussion. Cutting back on my consumption of a favorite fruit until more info is available. So grateful to have you both on my radar!💝
Thank you as always for this important information about avocados. As a post penopausal woman I've been eating 1 avocado a day for quite some time as I understood that this fruit was beneficial bto everyone. Now I will refrain from eating avocados until the picture is clearer. Thank you Dr Moss for researching this important topic for us. Kind wishes. Joan, Manchester, UK.
@sherrihinton2885 It is worth noting organic avocado may protect you as many agricultural pesticides imitate estrogen in the body. Avocados have a high fat content and those ag chemicals are stored in fat.
Yes, we need to have the whole picture. This fact is not even correct, as they isolate “avocado” as the researched object. If they had asked also, do you eat sugar, processed food, we could get a better picture.
OMG. I’m a post menopausal woman who eats one avocado every day. BUT I will do my research - Dr. Moss notes that many pesticides are used to grow avocados so like him I will see if I can buy organic avocados. (I did not know that pesticides are ‘estrogen like’ and are estrogen disrupters). This was a correlational study and the sample of post menopausal women was small. Hmm.
Very interesting study. Recently there have been some discussion about a product called Apeel being applied to avocados and other fruits/vegetables to reduce food waste. It is being applied to both organic and non-organic food and was approved by the FDA. It is my understanding that it can't be washed off and long term impacts on health are unknown. I try to grow as much of my food as possible as at least I know what's in it. It is on the label in fine print but with all the unknowns, I avoid those items so far.
@@fragilechords5118 - Avocados, zucchini's and cucumbers, madness they all have adequate skins to protect them. I see on Google they have mentioned citrus fruits also.
i will pay more if have to, i read on the bags of fruit I buy, if it says Apeel on the bag, I don't buy them. It doesn't mean anything now days if the FDA approved them, they are corrupt as they can be.
If you look up the ingredients/patent for Apeel, it seems like paraffin (only). I am a staunch mistruster of farming/pharming practices, but Apeel seems like a relative joke to make donkeys kick backwards than a harmful new technology. I find NONE of the people who push fear around Apeel have not even researched anything about it. Fear-mongering via copy-paste non-info is a practice with generally grave, dire results, and should be halted in one's overall practice. I welcome more research by others, not copy/paste fear
I agree . They even said they didn’t have enough avocado eating women in the trial with breast cancer to come to a definite conclusion so why not do the study across the board in Mexico or other Latin American countries where they eat avocados regularly?
Thank you Dr. Moss and Ben Moss for this interesting information that was found in this avocado study. Could the foods eaten with the avocados, or the particular type of diets these men and women were on have bearing on the findings?
Exactly! I think you have to consider the over-all Diet in these studies! Someone eating guacamole and chips is Obviously not the same as women who eat a lil avocado on thier salads! Beverly
As a 74 year old “nutritarian”, I consume a nutrient rich diet. Three times a week I have a bowl of guacamole (whole avocado, organic tomato, red onion, garlic, turmeric, fresh ground black pepper, Himalayan salt, Italian herbs, apple cider vinegar, lime or lemon juice, ginger juice, olive oil, pumpkin seed oil). After seeing this, I am going to start using organic avocados.
All this concern over avocados. What about birth control pills, prescription meds, HRT, and the slew of vaccines we’re inundated with, especially as we get older!
WOW!! this is surprising and also made me hesitate weather to eat an avocado for dinner or not! i was planning to. I wish it is not accurate as i like them very much. Yes, I will only buy organic. Thank you father and son : )) as always you are so interesting and pleasant. Waiting for your next report!
organic avicado is also sprayed with all sorts of chemicals, except they may not use the same stuff thats on the official ban list. A study in the UK compared regular and organic food and results showed that organic is just as polluted as the regular ones. So really if you can grow your own food.
Thank you for your effort on explaining this. My lifestyle consists of about 70,% organic products except for avocado s as they are rarely available. I for sure will not eat them anymore. I just watched a research on our drink water quality. I was shocked. I live in the Netherlands but hopefully you can bring some clearity about our health risks from drinking tap water. Most appreciated.
These studies miss so many other correlations in their studies that most nutritional studies are skewed because of this. Did the measure or track the amount of PUFAs participants were consuming? (All seed oils are highly inflammatory, more so than sugar). I doubt this was taken into account
It seems like they are trying to imply the avocado is causing it, like how people exposed to a dangerous toxic product get cancer, if that wee the case and there was a correlation of a cup of avocado per week to getting cancer, there would be an uptick in cancer for women people who eat much higher amounts of avocado. Also people typically have it as guacamole with chips or on toast, so are we looking at the grain consumption rate comparison of the non avocado eaters
Unless the lifestyle, heredity, and entire diet is studied as well as the purity of the avocados, the study should be taken with a grain of salt. My guess is that they already applied for grants for follow up studies at Harvard..
it’s important to test for urinary estrogen metabolites to determine what can be done to improve those estrogens and reduce risk of breast cancer/improve outcome in breast cancer.
If the study population is small the results in breast cancer may mean nothing. The next similar study can have reversed results. As an older women I don't stop eating Avos just yet
All those studies without searching the mechanism are very often confusing and could lead to bad eating strategy. The big point not to elude is really pesticides. And thanks to nailed it ! Here in Europe we try to avoid non biological avocados. As the same for non organic bananas wich are clearly linked for a increase risk of prostate cancer. Thnaks a lot for your great work.

Avocado has been a staple in the Carobbean for years. You always have it with your meal. It's known as pear....not the hask...its mainly the large smooth avacado.
From my understanding the pesticides would stay on the avocado skin which is rather thick, I can’t imagine them getting into the the avocado flesh. We don’t normally eat avocados with the skin! So if you carefully wash the avocado, it should be fine. Am I wrong on that?
Unfortunately pesticides do end up in everything they’re sprayed on to a greater or lesser degree. Some would say no amount is safe, but obviously they are still in use.
Can’t hardly find Organic Avocados in the stores. What you are saying about heavy spraying on the trees with pesticides, even tho I love them, I will PASS for now as an older woman! Thank you for your diligent work to Help humanity! God bless 😇 🕊 😇
The best is to have an avocado tree in your yard. We had an avocado tree and enjoyed them but now we moved and have no room in our small yard. We’ve been thinking to plant one in a pot, a large pot.
@@rachelnise2473herbicides are sprayed on the ground to control weeds in the avocado groove’s which in turn gets takin up by the roots of the tree and into the fruit.
Lots of avacados are probably plucked off trees before its really sesoned. Maybe when the fruit is not mature enough could be the ones that cause the problem. Just a thought. Maybe.
Ouch! My doctor had me eating an avocado a day for 18 months. I slowed down on my consumption as they are now out of season. I did buy small Haas organic ones though.
Who funded this research is my question and how can one fruit be measured so objectively was there a big difference between organic or chemical spray of herbicide will be different. I will continue doing what i do eat it every single day my grandmother passed at nearly 100 years old and lived off her farm in Jamaica no cancer at all she only ate natural foods i would like to see study on processed foods done. About foods laced in sugars and chemical kosh
Were the women affected on a Keto diet? Whilst eating avocado doesn't mean you are on a ketogenic diet, if you ARE on a ketogenic diet you will amost certainly eat avocados. I have heard many times before that a ketogenic diet, in the more traditional sense at least, is bad for oestrogen driven breast cancer.
Wow at 67, I eat a whole avocado every day and guess why…💩💩💩yeah you got it! Avocados 🥑 are known to improve gut biome. But I will most certainly change to organic because I was not aware of the chemical spraying level. Thank you so much 😊
I generally have 1-3 Avocados per week. On the topic of pesticides, fertilisers and herbicides, I've always washed and peeled fruits, vegetables. Cucumber and courgette skins are like eating plastic as they're so thick etc - to the point that if somebody cooks for me or l go to a restaurant I can't actually choose certain dishes because l can taste the bitterness of the skins. Also, less carbohydrates and peeling aids digestion because no skin fibres to breakdown .
Yup. Studies are not to be trusted anymore. The head of Stanford had to resign recently because his studies and experiments were found to be fraudulent.
I have eaten avocados in Mexico and they are much much better quality and taste then the ones I have eaten in the UK (which taste totally awful and they change texture )
I am 60.9 years of age. I have been in Menopause for the last 4 years now and I increased my consumption of avocado's to 7 per week. They are the smaller ones from Walmart where you get 5-6 per bag. Typically, one of them is all brown and bruised so I toss it. I have not had a Mammogram in 2.5 years. I did have "Dense Granular Tissue" but they told me that I had nothing to worry about. I think I would rather enjoy my salad or sandwich and just deal with what comes. Besides, the previous upstanding reputation of Harvard has REALLY gone into the toilet. If they do a clinical trial on Avocado's with and without pesticides, PLEASE SIGN ME UP. 😊
Very interesting; as I eat avocados on a very regular basis. As I am not female I will continue to eat them. Is it the high Vitamin E content that is the anti-carcinogen? As the study is association & not causality, I don’t think I would be too concerned being female in the post-menopausal group outcomes. There may be with small sample size, confounders in the older demographic that need to be investigated further?
Does Vitamin E Prevent or Promote Cancer? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3502042/ Epidemiological studies are supportive of Vitamin E as cancer preventative. Diet or in supplements that are rich in γ- and δ-tocopherols, is cancer preventive.@@aileenthorne4656
You can be sure there is a different variable at work. They need to look at the other habits older women might have that might explain why older women but not younger women or men would have the negative result. For example, did they screen for hormone replacement therapy? Lots of another food consumption besides the avocado among older women?
WOW !!! MY DAUGHTER LOVES THESE, AND I DO LIKE THEM BUT NOT LIKE SHE DOES AND MY YOUNGEST GD...21 LOVES THEM TOO..... WOW! THIS IS MIND BLOWING.....THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS.....BUT THINK I WILL STOP EATING THEM.... AND I MAY SWITCH FROM MY AVOCADO OIL TOO !!!....what do you think about still using the oil ??? Please answer this..... is there a way to get theses answers back to us ??? Like maybe do a Q&A and put that on your list and then either post it or have your Fans to call in and ask the questions ? Looks to me like would be better to just post them....maybe have a certain place on your website to post such questions & your answers !!! (think this might work for you ?) looks like another job for Ben) lol 8/13/23......I am passing this info on to friends & family & my FB & Twitter.....(I hate instagram.....) I do have it but rarely use it .....
thanks for making more work for me! :) joking of course, I read your suggestion and I do try to reply to comments and questions here. re: the Avo oil, if the source of the oil is not organic, and if you're going along w/ Dr. Moss' theory about estrogen disruptors (again, he stated, it's his theory, not scientific evidence), then you may want to avoid it. The oil would contain the same undesired elements as the fruit.
Since glyphosates are stored in fat and avocado has a high fat content, it would be quite interesting to consider organic avocado. Or perhaps women need more MORE avocado.

From my understanding the pesticides would stay on the avocado skin which is rather thick, I can’t imagine them getting into the the avocado flesh. We don’t normally eat avocados with the skin! So if you carefully wash the avocado, it should be fine. Am I wrong on that?
The petrochemical fertilizers that can be used will be inside the food.
Unfortunately pesticides do end up in everything they’re sprayed on to a greater or lesser degree. Some would say no amount is safe, but obviously they are still in use.
Yes, they could possibly be ‘baked’ in via the hot tropical sun or via the root system I would guess
Can’t hardly find Organic Avocados in the stores.
What you are saying about heavy spraying on the trees with pesticides, even tho I love them, I will PASS for now as an older woman!
Thank you for your diligent work to Help humanity!
God bless

Trader Joe's sells organic avocados in a four-pack at a reasonable price. Can't find them anywhere else!
The best is to have an avocado tree in your yard. We had an avocado tree and enjoyed them but now we moved and have no room in our small yard. We’ve been thinking to plant one in a pot, a large pot.
How about removing the spray with either salt/water or vinegar ?
You never eat avocado skin. So if the flesh has chemicals, it will be hard to remove.
Since the outside is not being eaten, it's what is being absorbed that's the issue.
@@rachelnise2473herbicides are sprayed on the ground to control weeds in the avocado groove’s which in turn gets takin up by the roots of the tree and into the fruit.
Aww! Im post menopausal and love avocados so much i eat one several times a week!😢😮
Get organic avocados if you can!
Pls differenciate between incidence of ca in populatiin with cure of ca in individual.
Interested data .
Good job again !!
If you find the time in your busy schedule to investigate lemons/limes, I.E. citrus fruit, that would be iintriguing.
FYI, Walmart, Target, Meijer-all carry organic Haas avocados 3-4 count per bag.
LOL....I tried to grow them too....but never got far.....God Bless you both
Lots of avacados are probably plucked off trees before its really sesoned. Maybe when the fruit is not mature enough could be the ones that cause the problem. Just a thought. Maybe.
Ouch! My doctor had me eating an avocado a day for 18 months. I slowed down on my consumption as they are now out of season. I did buy small Haas organic ones though.
Who funded this research is my question and how can one fruit be measured so objectively was there a big difference between organic or chemical spray of herbicide will be different. I will continue doing what i do eat it every single day my grandmother passed at nearly 100 years old and lived off her farm in Jamaica no cancer at all she only ate natural foods i would like to see study on processed foods done. About foods laced in sugars and chemical kosh
You have to doubt everything those days. Especially experts and scientists!!!
Im a 65 year old woman and eat at least 5 avacados a week. im depressed. ive already had ovarian cancer

great infos
thank you
Were the women affected on a Keto diet? Whilst eating avocado doesn't mean you are on a ketogenic diet, if you ARE on a ketogenic diet you will amost certainly eat avocados. I have heard many times before that a ketogenic diet, in the more traditional sense at least, is bad for oestrogen driven breast cancer.
Wow at 67, I eat a whole avocado every day and guess why…💩💩💩yeah you got it! Avocados 🥑 are known to improve gut biome. But I will most certainly change to organic because I was not aware of the chemical spraying level. Thank you so much 😊
I generally have 1-3 Avocados per week.
On the topic of pesticides, fertilisers and herbicides, I've always washed and peeled fruits, vegetables. Cucumber and courgette skins are like eating plastic as they're so thick etc - to the point that if somebody cooks for me or l go to a restaurant I can't actually choose certain dishes because l can taste the bitterness of the skins.
Also, less carbohydrates and peeling aids digestion because no skin fibres to breakdown .
With all these super foods it's a miracle that diseases exist.
😊
Fascinating.
One Harvard studies says seed oil is good for us !!!! 😲 any take on it ! !!!
Yup. Studies are not to be trusted anymore. The head of Stanford had to resign recently because his studies and experiments were found to be fraudulent.
Reduction risk for men and Increased risk for women - I'm not so sure about this study - ?
I have eaten avocados in Mexico and they are much much better quality and taste then the ones I have eaten in the UK (which taste totally awful and they change texture )
they are full of pesticides in amexico
Did eating avocados help men who has prostate cancer?
I am 60.9 years of age. I have been in Menopause for the last 4 years now and I increased my consumption of avocado's to 7 per week. They are the smaller ones from Walmart where you get 5-6 per bag. Typically, one of them is all brown and bruised so I toss it. I have not had a Mammogram in 2.5 years. I did have "Dense Granular Tissue" but they told me that I had nothing to worry about. I think I would rather enjoy my salad or sandwich and just deal with what comes. Besides, the previous upstanding reputation of Harvard has REALLY gone into the toilet. If they do a clinical trial on Avocado's with and without pesticides, PLEASE SIGN ME UP. 😊
Very interesting; as I eat avocados on a very regular basis. As I am not female I will continue to eat them. Is it the high Vitamin E content that is the anti-carcinogen? As the study is association & not causality, I don’t think I would be too concerned being female in the post-menopausal group outcomes. There may be with small sample size, confounders in the older demographic that need to be investigated further?
Are you saying vitamin E is anti carcinogenic?
Does Vitamin E Prevent or Promote Cancer? www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3502042/ Epidemiological studies are supportive of Vitamin E as cancer preventative. Diet or in supplements that are rich in γ- and δ-tocopherols, is cancer preventive.@@aileenthorne4656
You can be sure there is a different variable at work. They need to look at the other habits older women might have that might explain why older women but not younger women or men would have the negative result. For example, did they screen for hormone replacement therapy? Lots of another food consumption besides the avocado among older women?
Makes sense to do a study of women who eat only organic avocados and those who don't.I can't stand the way studies are done.
Wow amazing
WOW !!! MY DAUGHTER LOVES THESE, AND I DO LIKE THEM BUT NOT LIKE SHE DOES AND MY YOUNGEST GD...21 LOVES THEM TOO..... WOW! THIS IS MIND BLOWING.....THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS.....BUT THINK I WILL STOP EATING THEM.... AND I MAY SWITCH FROM MY AVOCADO OIL TOO !!!....what do you think about still using the oil ??? Please answer this..... is there a way to get theses answers back to us ??? Like maybe do a Q&A and put that on your list and then either post it or have your Fans to call in and ask the questions ? Looks to me like would be better to just post them....maybe have a certain place on your website to post such questions & your answers !!! (think this might work for you ?) looks like another job for Ben) lol 8/13/23......I am passing this info on to friends & family & my FB & Twitter.....(I hate instagram.....) I do have it but rarely use it .....
thanks for making more work for me! :) joking of course, I read your suggestion and I do try to reply to comments and questions here. re: the Avo oil, if the source of the oil is not organic, and if you're going along w/ Dr. Moss' theory about estrogen disruptors (again, he stated, it's his theory, not scientific evidence), then you may want to avoid it. The oil would contain the same undesired elements as the fruit.
Since glyphosates are stored in fat and avocado has a high fat content, it would be quite interesting to consider organic avocado. Or perhaps women need more MORE avocado.
I should add, I consume 5 to 7 portions of avocado per week. Yes, buy organic!
