In the end, I am on that conclusion that every medium has its own importance, benefits, and disadvantages.  If you want my opinion, regarding cooking olive oil is better. It is high in mono-unsaturated fatty acids which are healthy dietary fats. However, my opinion on butter is it is better to use white butter rather than salty in balance. It can give you energy and strength.

 

But according to recent scientific researches, it is proven that ghee is best for cooking and eating purposes. If it uses in balance form, then this is extraordinary for health. It is easier to digest ghee rather than butter.

 

So overall, everything is good at its position, but ghee is the best!
