Hello :)
It is my first edit request.
Please change "the China" to "China". There is an accidental "the".
Thanks,

This seems very weird. It breaks up the flow of the article and it just seems like an advertisement for this random product.
"A line of US-produced dog and cat food, AvoDerm, uses oils and meal made from avocado meat as main ingredients." 173.24.77.12 ( talk) 18:21, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
... according to SciShow who posted a correction video on their earlier content about this ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpcBgYYFS8o). They say there was never any actual data that backed up that claim but it was a speculation in an old scientific paper and got copied on and on... Maybe worth a look? 37.82.7.116 ( talk) 37.82.7.116 ( talk) 19:34, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
In 1982, evolutionary biologist Daniel H. Janzen concluded that the avocado is an example of an "evolutionary anachronism", a fruit adapted for ecological relationship with now-extinct large mammals (such as giant ground sloths or gomphotheres), source is PMID 17790450. But in that paper avocado isn't even mentioned. Only giant ground sloths were shorty mentioned, but definitely not avocados.
