Ghee in diet

In the exhibition of a medical seminar there was a stall. They had products on display. Their sales person was very nicely explaining the products. While explaining about Ghee he said, it is low fat Ghee which is medicated with various herbs. But this should be avoided by those who have Cholesterol trouble as it is finally fat.

I smiled when he said that, he noticed and said, "Of course you are an expert in it, you might be knowing better. We are telling only what we  are told to tell visitors."

I said, "No offense, but Ghee esp medicated Ghee doesn't increase cholesterol. Unless used improperly or in insanely high quantity. It increases when fats are used to deep fry food items. So what you are selling is not at all going to increase cholesterol as this Ghee is not going to be used for frying or as cooking oil. So as long as it is used in proper quantity and in proper way, it makes no problem with the cholesterol."

There have been studies conducted on use of Ghee and it's effect on Cholesterol as experimental work. And the results are in favor of Ghee, not in favor of Cholesterol. Never hesitate to use Ghee with the fear of Cholesterol.
