I do the same except I use ghee. My grandparents all lived to their 80s in Bangladesh and at this point I’m just trying to do what they did instead of trusting western science. (Aside from vaccines put the pitchforks away.)

It's not that Western science doesn't work, it's just that it has been tasked with selling pans rather than not giving people cancer.

What does using ghee in a cast iron pan have to do with western science? Any fat in a cast iron pan will work.

butter, good tallow (non hydrogenated) and ghee are all fine. Neither is better than the other.
