The Avocado – The Food of the Gods The Banana – The Food of Monkeys!
The avocado or the food of the GODS may be the perfect food. It has higher potassium at 486mg compared to a banana at 358mg. The high potassium in the avocado helps to maintain the alkaline design of the body fluids, especially the blood, without all the acidic sugar content at 12.23 grams for a banana and less than a gram of sugar for an avocado.
Each 100 grams of avocado has 2 grams of protein and 14.66 grams of Oleic fat that helps to reduce dietary and metabolic acid and thus reduces the need for LDL cholesterol. The big benefit of the avocado is the cancer preventing and reversing phytonutrients of Lutein and Zeazanathin at 271 ug compared to a banana which only has 22 ug. There is no question that the avocado is a superior alkalizing and health promoting food. I recommend eating at least 2 to 3 Haas avocados a day. And stay away from bananas – they are acidic and with the high sugar might make you act like a monkey!

Because of the high acid levels or sugar levels that increases tissue acidosis and the low fat levels that would help to reduce tissue acidosis I do not recommend eating bananas. The banana is high in potassium at 358 mgs. but is negated by the high sugar content causing a loss all of its alkalizing potential and making it a highly acidic fruit. The banana is NOT a Superfood and is acidifying to the blood and tissues. Its lutein content is only 22 ug compared to the Avocado at 271 ug.
