Cholesterol
The amount of cholesterol in the blood is of no importance. (Apart from for selling statins 🤡) What is important is whether it is oxidised or not ; and this is only measured in research labs. If you eat polyunsaturated fats (seed oils) or fat from animals that have been fed seed oils (ie chicken and pork) then your cholesterol will be oxidised. It is oxidised cholesterol that causes heart disease.
What about butter ? Or ghee ( melted butter )
Very healthy. They do not cause oxidative damage as the fat in them is saturated.
Most Indian cooking used to be vegetables fried ( as curries) in butter or ghee ..
Now with increase of refined oil , there is exponential rise in artery disease ..
Right but Indians also ate paneer (curd cheese) and yoghurt. Also in Kerala they used healthy coconut oil, which is saturated fat like ghee.
