The avocados in the Chunky Guacamole are an excellent source of monounsaturated fat, the type that is good for your cholesterol. Moreover, the avocado is a source of lutein, a phytochemical that seems to help prevent age-related macular degeneration. This may be important for people with diabetes who may have eye problems associated with the disease.
