Hmmm, I'm not sure that I believe him.
Indian cooking is done with a lot of Ghee, which is of course, clarified butter.
The authorities in India tried to get people over there to accept what they considered to be a healthier option.......western type margarine.....levels of heart disease went up.
Also Clarissa Dixon Wright(she of Two fat Ladies fame) is related to someone who owned Van Deb Berghs(the makers of Stork Margarine....amongst others) he made her promise that she would never eat margarine....be cause he knew what went into it!!!
I think much of our food is chemicalised, and we do not know how these chemicals affect individuals.
Any number of things could be responsible for the increase in heart disease.
A sedentary life style has to be high on the risk list.
Having said that, it is up to the individual to assess their own risk......I do not believe that governments should be involved in determining what the population eats. That is fascism.
