No single fat wins universally, but for heart health, oil often takes the lead. Swapping your cooking oil for ghee thinking it’s a “superfood” miracle, here’s the cold, hard truth:
Same Calories: 1 tsp of ghee = 1 tsp of oil = 45 Kcal. Both are 100% fat.
The Sat-Fat Reality: Ghee is 65% saturated fat. Most vegetable oils (mustard, groundnut, sesame) contain less than 20%.
The Health Hit: In a country facing high rates of diabetes and heart disease, adding extra saturated fat daily isn’t the “hack” you think it is.
The Verdict: The healthiest fat is the one used in the right amount and in moderation.
