1. Ghee is unhealthy: No. It contains vitamin A, which is very beneficial for children. However, it is also a saturated source of fat and is therefore, unsuitable for middle-aged and older people. As you get older, ghee becomes less healthy for you but it is great for kids – in moderation, of course.
2. Blends dilute your oil: No. Blends do not ‘dilute’ your cooking oil. Dieticians recommend blends as you can mix and match and create the kind of oil that is right for your needs. This is especially true of those who suffer from heart diseases. One such recommended blend is: cornflower oil, soya oil, groundnut oil and rice bran oil.

Oils and Fats are necessary for cooking: No. You can survive without using obvious fats in your cooking because there are plenty of invisible sources of fat in your food. Most food contains some kind of fat so purposely adding fat to your diet is not required for a balanced meal.
