Ever heard of “Oil Pulling?” If so, and if you’ve been wondering how it works, there’s a really simple answer:
It doesn’t!!!
Seriously, about the only ingredients in coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, etc. are saturated fats. So if you decide to try oil pulling, just know that the only thing you’re doing, is swishing fat around your mouth for 20 minutes. And I can’t find a single reasonable explanation of why the heck swishing your mouth with fat is going to do a damn thing for anything.
For crying out loud, people, just brush properly for 2 minutes, floss properly for 1 minute, and rinse with a non-alcohol based, fluoride mouthrinse for 1 minute, and not only will you get better results, you’ll save 16 minutes every time.
This isn’t rocket science!

Oil Pulling is Nothing More than Swishing with Fat. What the heck is that going to do?
It’s been awhile since I wrote something on the blog, but this is one that I’ve been wanting to write for so long, I just had to finally finish it and get it out there. I’ve certainly talked about why Oil Pulling with coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, or any other kind of oil is useless, but after looking up the composition of coconut oil, the basic reason is so obvious: because all you’re doing is swishing fat around your mouth!
