'Ghee is the best fat burner in the world': Longevity expert Prashant Desai explains health benefits of Ghee, video goes viral

A video by longevity expert about health benefits of Ghee has gone viral on social media. Everstone Group director Prashant Desai, in a podcast with YouTuber Raj Shamani, said that Ghee is the best fat burner in the world. "Ghee is saturated fat, but it's not like any other saturated fat. Ghee has such a unique structure, the double bond of carbon. It's a fat burner," Desai said.

Desai said that Ghee reduces the visceral fat of the body. "If you eat ghee with roti, your glucose spike will be much lower. If you are not eating ghee roti, you are doing the biggest disservice to the country," he said. "I eat four spoons of ghee in my coffee first thing when I wake up," he added. To prove his point Desai also said that the claims are scientifically proven? He said that he has shared three LinkedIn posts and two videos on ghee.



He said that it's a myth that Ghee is bad for health. "In the US they said that fat is bad in 70s. So don't eat fat, eat carbs, eat more pasta, eat more bread. These are official advertisements by the American Heart Association in the US in the 70s. If saturated fat was bad, if fat was bad, then heart attacks should have been reduced. Heart attacks increased. Then they start saying that Carb is bad. Eat low-carb. It turned out that fat is the best. Not all fats are good. The biggest advantage of this was taken in India by the marketing vegetable oil companies. Ghee is bad, eat vegetable oil. They started putting hearts in their oil packs," Desai said.

"My belief is that ghee is the best thing. I have 16 spoons. If they don't believe, then don't eat. All the listeners must do their work. Don't say because Prashant is saying or Raj is saying or X is saying. Do some work and use some common sense," he concluded.
