ASK A NUTRITION PROFESSIONAL: ARE OVERRIPE AVOCADOS DANGEROUS TO EAT?
Expert opinion from Mariana Brkic

Once cut, the avocado starts to brown due to oxygen exposure. Even though it is safe to eat ripe avocado, it will depend on the type of decay. Avoid anything with streaky flesh, bad smell or taste, or mold growing on it as it has the potential to make you sick.

Animals such as birds, horses, dogs and cats cannot consume it, as it contains a substance called person that is highly toxic to them. But for humans it's not, unless you're allergic to it. The only downside of green avocado to humans is that it tastes terrible.

Eating overripe avocadoes will lead to gastrointestinal side effects such as cramping, gas formation, bloating and diarrhea. Other than this, these are safe to consume.
