I also just thought I'd mention that this sounds very similar
to the standard ISKCON blather I've often encountered. Over 3 years I
heard the same in their Boulder ashram and whenever I'd confront them
with "Which other version have YOU read," the response would be "Uhhh,
ahemmmmm, ohhhhh, Prabhu have some more halva please."
The halva was always top-notch, a solid A effort, although I could see
that a more modest use of ghee would significantly improve the health
benefits.
