Ghee: is it really better for you than butter?

My sister, who seems to know a lot about the nutritional value of foods, claims that Ghee is better for you than butter, and even went so far as to say it's good for you. She says lots of old-line traditional restaurants (including Galatoire's) use it generously.
Is it really less harmful than butter, or is it just a culinary loophole to reduce butter-guilt?

It’s all crap. My grandfather is 94 and he bitched at my mom as a kid when she used margarine and sweet and low.
“Real butter, sugar, and bourbon.”

Why would I want to live to be 100 and never eat butter?

Ghee is nice due to the higher smoke point.
Never heard it was better for you.

If your sister truly "knows a lot about the nutritional value of foods" she would know that the Butter farce is bullshite. And as time goes by more and more doctors and researchers say the whole cholesterol scheme is bullshite

No it’s still butterfat, the only difference is the solids have been removed and the water has been boiled out. I use it for higher heat searing and blackening with excellent results.

It's just clarified butter. Not sure on her logic to claim butter is healthier for you than..... BUTTER!

Better for you, no, just more suited to high heat.

Butter isn’t harmful. The butter is bad for you myth needs to die a quick death.

Ghee is less harmful if you are lactose intolerant.

Decided to make it since it is a lot cheaper. $8.00 for 4 pounds unsalted butter .
30 minutes medium heat. Made 3 1/2 pints.

its slightly better for you than butter. The best part about it is the nuttiness is slightly more than butter and it has a high smoke point. It's great to seer things with. Especially when blackening foods since you don't have the butter burning.
