Oil pulling is the latest ridiculous trend in detoxing. I have a few friends in the hippie/yoga/gluten-free trend that are swishing coconut oil to detox. Their proof that it's detoxing is : "When you spit out the oil after swooshing it in your mouth, it comes out all cloudy! Those are the toxins." No you fruitcake, that's a mix of saliva, food particles and air bubbles that is making the oil cloudy. If you swish water in your mouth it will also come out cloudy. Toxins accumulate in your tissue and don't take a magical elevator into your mouth that is activated by oil swishing. That's not how the body...or physics works!!! Oil is a non-polar molecule. This means that the charges cancel out so it has a neutral charge and doesn't attract other molecules. If a "toxin" has a charge, then it is attracted to other charged molecules like water.
