Ghee, Coconut oil are good for heart!

Sometimes scientific research helps ayurveda too!

 

How indians and especially north indians love ghee!

 

While studying much-maligned Atkins Diet in reference to other low-

carb options, a new study has found something sweet to Indian

tongue. Atkines diet achieved only a modest weight loss over a year

of just 4.7kg (10.4lbs). This diet came out on top when it was

compared with the Zone, the Ornish and the LEARN low-carb diets.

In all, 311 overweight or obese women were randomly put on one of

the four diets to discover which was the most effective over 12

months.

 

Women on the Atkins diet lost on average 4.7kg (10.4lbs), the LEARN

diet group lost on average 2.6kg (5.7lbs), the Ornish dieters lost

2.2kg (4.8lbs), and the Zone diet group lost an average of 1.6kg

(3.5lbs).

 

The researchers, from Stanford University, also dispelled concerns

that the Atkins diet was unhealthy and increased the risk of heart

problems. After blood tests on the women, they concluded that a diet

that was rich in saturated fats didn't affect blood lipid levels.

 

Did they not know that Coconut oil, Indian cow ghee has saturated

fats?

 

You can now stop all oils starting with S.. say no to Sunflower,

Safflower and Soya oil and shed your weight with cow ghee! And you

can take ghee with Khitchri in all detox diets.

This message is a misrepresentation of the research. However, other

research does support the fact that ghee can lower bad cholesterol

conclusions come from other research. It is erroneous to conclude

anything about ghee or coconut oil in an Ayurvedic (lacto-vegetarian)

diet from the study referenced below. If we want to be scientific about

Ayurveda, we have to apply scientific principles correctly.
