So I just read on facebook about oil pulling as the new trend, anyone know anything about the claims of it? Here's an article I found on huffington post.

What do you all think about it?

Interesting. I've been reading a lot about different fatty compounds having antibacterial affects. I didn't realize anyone did it in the oral cavity. Linoleic acid is the big one for skin/hair supposedly.

Oil pulling is not recommended nor is it a new trend. It is simply an article written by ONE person who has no scientific or legitimate basis for their idea. A nutcase, pretty much. You should not spend a second looking into this, it is a waste of time, and surely an expensive mouthwash.

I agree with upperbyte. Plus the huffington post is known for being a "source less" journal. It is also known for being a The Onion like journal. Most of their articles are not true or have no proof or basis.
