Interesting.
The author of the book says "It's fairly simple. Just swish it around in your mouth for 15 or 20 MINUTES". :shock:

I replayed it to make sure I heard it correctly. Yeah, 15-20 minutes.
That's a lot of swishing. :p :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The lady that hosts that show on Fox mentioned that she'd been doing it for some time, 10 to 15 minutes a day and said she had seen benefit. I wonder about the science behind it, without taking time to read the book. 20 minutes would be way too long. I have some extra Rotella and Pennzoil Platinum sitting around, if there's a taste difference. :lol:

I have seen the lady on tv quite a bit. She does have some (imo) extreme beliefs about health and eating. Personally, I don't care for that very gaunt appearance some activists have, but maybe she is earning a living that way, better than some other lifestyles dependent on govt. support.

It does concern me that there is no caution to be very careful not to choke on that oil. A little of that inhaled could be pretty damaging, it seems to me.

On the other hand, wouldn't cost much, and coconut oil is also promoted as a 'healthful' oil, which seems justifiable, if not overdone. It does work nicely for browning meats, with little to no flavor added to the meat.
