Avocado a day may keep cellular aging at bay for breast cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT07097155
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether eating one avocado daily for 4 months can slow biological aging in 120 female breast cancer survivors. The researchers will measure changes in telomere length (a marker of cellular aging) and other health indicators like inflammation and heart disease risk. Participants will either eat an avocado each day or follow their usual diet with fewer than two avocados per week.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
avocado
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary change to help breast cancer survivors age more slowly and reduce long-term health risks.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (120 people) testing a biomarker, not a direct health outcome. Results may not lead to a proven treatment or apply to everyone.
