  • A common opinion about milk, yoghurt, ghee is they increase wrong cholesterol.  Lower Density Cholesterol – LDC. It may be true with other types of milk, but if milk from the indigenous cow is taken High density cholesterol increases.  Also the yoghurt formed by cultured milk of this kind also gives good health.  Common practice of making butter is from raw milk.  This is wrong.  It is like extracting juice from unripe mango which causes health hazards.  The milk drawn from these types of cows, boiled properly then cooled and cultured.  The butter churned from this should be boiled to form ghee.This ghee not only increases the age by protecting the health but also removes the LDC if any.  So the source of milk should be proper and that milk should be treated according to the recommended norm.If a family maintains a cow,  the products from that cow will fulfill their needs.
