0:00 55:59

Heart disease is affecting younger Indians like never before. But is cooking oil really the biggest reason? Can someone who exercises every day still have three blocked arteries? And are olive oil, palm oil, ghee and seed oils as dangerous as social media makes them seem?

In this episode of Gut Feeling with Dr. Pal, Dr. Pal sits down with Dr. Varun Bansal, a leading cardiac surgeon, to separate facts from myths around heart disease, cholesterol, cooking oils, lifestyle, genetics and sudden cardiac deaths in young Indians. Through real patient stories and evidence-based research, this conversation explains what actually matters when it comes to protecting your heart.

Whether you're worried about cholesterol, confused about which oil to use, or simply want to understand why heart attacks are becoming more common in younger people, this episode is packed with practical insights backed by science.
