Great thoughts and discussion from everyone. 30% of our calories can come from fats. We can pick and choose a variety of fats to fulfill our fat needs per day. Out of this we do have a a small allowance for Saturated fats such as ghee, coconut oils, meat, cheese etc which is recommended at ~7%- 10% of calorie intake. It does not have to be totally avoided. If you wish to include ghee or coconut oil in your foods, you can surely use it, its your choice, but just be aware of the portions. Also, oils are always a mix of mono, poly and saturated fats, the portion varies from oil to oil, so we cannot selectively avoid one type, so the big picture lies again in limiting the portions size each day, so we don't get excess of any one type. Finally, remember oils only make up one part of our fat intake, so we have to leave room for other sources of fat from curd, meat, milk, bakes goods, etc. Each ones calorie needs will differ from this based on height, age and current weight] Moderation and portion control will strike a balance. Have a good day !

She is wrong about Coconut oil. People in Kerala, India use coconut oil for food, body and hair. They are the healthiest folks in India ! Coconut oil contains short chain fatty acids as Valeric acid that are easily digested and healthier than unsaturated oils with long chain fatty acids and also has a higher smoke point than many other oils mentioned. Please keep up with current research and not old text books.

I had no idea how much oil li has been using. After watching this video l was able to reduce to 10 teaspoons per person. I tried with 5 teaspoons but my family was super unhappy. To discourage worse TV dinners and other processed food I gave in a bit and landed at 10 teaspoons. I know :( . I have long ways to go. Once you know you simply can’t pour oil into food you serve your dear and near ones . Can you please talk about salt next? How many teaspoons per person per day? Grateful to you doc!

Yes, pick any oil that has a high smoke point above 425 F/218 C to prevent the oil from breaking down and creating free radicals. Also remember not to re-use fried oil for anything else. Therefore this will automatically limit the number of times you fry overall !

[@sripriyabalasubramanian3780]

Thank you Dr Pal and SriSakthi for an informative session. I have a question, though refined oils withstand high smoking point, , they are all highly processed and for processing , chemicals are used which cause inflammatory issues. Cold pressed or expeller pressed oils do not have these chemicals and they are not processed . Since refined oils only can withstand high smoking point , (though chemicals are used for refining process) you still recommend these oils ( like canola oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, Corn Oil...etc ) Due to their low smoking point you recommend to not to use Ghee, Butter, Coconut oil, Sesame oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil , Avocado oil for frying right? But they can be used for things like Seasoning, salad dressing , right? Could u share your thoughts on this, @SriSakthi Ramanathan? I agree with amount of oils to get 50 g of fat from Oils if not we can compensate by taking the fats from different sources. Thank u!

Hi Vinayagamoorthi, good catch with the types of LDL, I was not able to cover the large fluffy LDL and the smaller LDL cholesterol. That will take another 30 min video, hopefully in another video 😁 if there is a lot of demand on that topic. I mainly wanted to focus on the “amount of oil” first, because the amount of oil can turn a good oil in to a bad oil because of excess use. Time permitting will cove in depth later.

I am glad hat you are using a variety of oils through your your day. To answer your questions- when cooking for 2 people, for 1 dish you can use 2 tsp of oil. That way each of you will get 1 tsp oil from it. Now you will have many dishes in the day, so keep count to approximately use 5 tsp per day. If you exceed it on some days it’s totally fine. Egg fry can use any of the oils you mentioned above because it does not require a super high smoke point like chicken 65 or muruku. So the above oils temperature will hold up. Use just 1/2 - 1 tsp oil per omelette or bull-eye style egg fry.

I would totally agree with your grandmother. Oils/fats are.very essential to the body to deliver the fat soluble nutrients. Balance is the key. Instead of 5 dosas, have only 2 small/medium dosas made with a reasonable amount of high quality seseme oil, add some for podi also.

Thoroughly briefed....... But doc u didn't specify if to use wood pressed or refined store bought oils...... Do clarify as I'm following intermittent fasting and would like to restrict the oil intake

Hi, I’m in keto diet and make food with ghee and olive oil? Does ghee got a high smoking point? And for thallipu I use sesame oil. Thanks
