I read an article and do not understand the meaning of "isnt too far off from the hype" in the following setence .

"Youve probably seen avocados being touted as a heart-healthy superfood in recent years. Realistically, the truth isnt too far off from the hype."

Thank you very much for your useful help and time.

Best regards,

Yu

What people have been saying about it isn't far from the truth.

You need apostrophes in these words, yuheci:

isn't

May I ask you : can I say " isn't too far from the hype " instead of " isn't too far off from the hype " ?

Thanks
