Myth: Ghee is traditional, so you can have unlimited amounts.

What science says

Ghee supplies about 9 kcal per gram and is high in saturated fat. Guidance is to keep saturated fat within moderate limits and to keep total fat in check regardless of the source.

BhojVigyan take

Measure it — a spoon in cooking, not a free pour. Keep a mix of fats across the day rather than relying on one.
