Is Ghee bad for you? Bad for your heart primarily? Just curious, in relation to butter and other saturated fats.
Pause • Switch to Standard View Nutritional experts please : Ghee?

It is a good question. I used to think it was bad for you and even went as far as asking in a Bangladeshi restaurant which dishes had ghee in. Now I am not so sure as whilst it has a lot of saturated fat maybe its a good sort of saturated fat.

It is clarified butter

It's just used for frying, and is - as stated, merely clarified butter.

Yes, it's saturated fat, so it's bad for you.

I would think it is probably as lard

Butter is good for you. Hard fats like margarine are bad for you.

Yer granny was wrong. All fats are bad in the amounts eaten in a typical western diet. But saturated fats (from animals) are worse than polyunsaturated vegetable oils.

Animal fat is harmless, hydrogenated fats will kill you. You can't eat enough animal fat to harm yourself.

Gallivanter, you sound like you know what you're talking about and Lord knows I'm certainly no expert, but that sounds like utter poppycock to me.
