In all the diet stuf, there is a degree of the negotiation stage of grief -- If I follow these rules, I won't get the disease -- Some of the rules make more sense than others, but none is a cure -- If avocados were truly effective, they would be too valuable to have on grocery store shelves! OTOH, some folks feel better doing *something*, and fruits and vegetables aren't a bad thing to do and may be helpful rather than harmful.
