Question:
I heard or read some time back about taking some olive oil (and maybe adding something(s) to it) and "chewing" it for a few minutes and then i guess spit it out...great for getting rid of toxins etc. Do you know anything about this and what is the "recipe"??

Answer:
I cannot find any scientific studies which suggest health benefits from chewing and spitting olive oil. There are very few toxins that are capable of building up in the body and I cannot see how any of these could get out of bones, fat deposits, etc. in the short time that one swishes olive oil.
