Hello Roopashree, By now, we all probably know that refined edible oils are unhealthy. I recently switched to wood-churned/cold-pressed oil for regular cooking and frying. But is it true the high-density volume of these oils can spike cholesterol levels? Kavitha

As compared to refined oils, cold pressed oils are always a better option as the former loses its nutritional value during the heating process.

Further, repeated heating during the cooking process or constant frying causes a series of chemical reactions in the oil, like polymerisation (similar to the process of creating plastics). Ever noticed the residue deposits on your frying vessel?

To answer your question, cold pressed oils might be dense but they are rich in saturated fats and other nutrients that boost good cholesterol in the body. Given their high nutritional value, consumption should be minimal for proper digestion.

Any kind of oil should always be consumed in lower quantities with minimal or no heating, so always saute your vegetables at the end.

Oils like olive oil and coconut oil can also be consumed raw with soups or salads.

My daughter got a seat Manipal institute of technology bangalore with CSE core branch of engineering, is it good to proceed because it is started in the year of 2021 and new campus and fee is 5.5lack per annum or i got seat in amrita bangalore with CSE core branch of engineering with 1.5Lack per annum. Which one better sir

Ans: Please go for Amrita Bangalore with CSE core branch of engineering, money is hard earned. Manipal is not IIT/IIIT/NIT/Any famous Govt. Engineering College. So don't waste money. I am giving you a valuable advice, which will save your 4 X4 =16 Lakh rupees and that can be used for her MS from USA after B.Tech. No one will give you such a straight-forward advice. It is your money, I am not being benefitted. But since the question came to me I am giving you this very valuable counselling. My LINKEDIN details are shared with this advice. Best of luck. I am always there by the side of the children who need counselling. For placement of CSE branch don’t worry. I personally placed more than one students of CSE branch in reputed international companies. May GOD bless always. Prof. Suvasish Mukhopadhyay.
