The study called "The Habitual Diet and Avocado Trial" hopes to determine if the fruit can help with weight loss.
Previous studies show avocados have pro-heart fats that fight cholesterol and may lower blood pressure.
The universities involved in the study include Loma Linda, Penn State, Tufts and UCLA.
