Benefits of oil pulling?

Has anyone ever heard of this "detox" diet where you just chug olive oil and tea all day long?😲 Sounds like some sketchy way to wreck your liver if you ask me.😢

Seriously? Who on earth came up with this? It’s a one-way ticket to skyrocketing cholesterol and total liver failure. I honestly can't even wrap my head around how much damage we're talking about here. But hey, if you just stop eating entirely and spend your life constantly draining out all the grease—then sure, this belongs right at the top of the hall of fame for legendary threads.

I’ve heard people claiming that lemon-infused olive oil is some kind of miracle tonic. It isn't exactly a weight-loss gimmick—that’s not the goal here—but rather a way to support kidney function and aid in general detoxification. You see older folks living along the California coast swear by it; they tend to stick to those traditional, old-school remedies passed down through generations.

I wine is healthy too, you know, as long as you don't overdo it. Just like anything else. But just oil and nothing else? Honestly, that deserves an award.

It’s actually quite healthy, provided you aren't overdoing it. If you start consuming it in larger amounts, though, it can definitely drive up your cholesterol levels.

Wait, how does olive oil actually raise cholesterol? Plant oils and cholesterol... what's the deal?

Look, in moderation, it actually helps balance out your HDL and LDL levels. But if you start overdoing it... 😠

everything’s better when you don't go overboard 👍
