Ghee consumption for body cleansing
From the limited research I had done re: Ayurvedic centers in South India start their treatments with Ghee to cleanse the body. Is that dated methodology?
This is the clinical guidelines from American societies In summary, while ghee is traditionally used for ""cleansing"" in some cultures like Morocco and India , there is no evidence-based clinical guideline or consensus in modern medicine supporting the use of ghee to cleanse the body. This is such a controversial topic that is hard to give answers. It does have more saturated fat than the other oils. There are small studies on Ghee from Ayurveda literature that say that Ghee may not be the wrong kind of saturated fat, but there’s no long-term data available so I would still stay with the American health association guideline at keeping the daily Ghee in moderate amount at less than half a tablespoon per day so that your saturated fat is less than 7%.
