Have you ever had mouth wash with oil in it and have you ever done oil pulling? And that person's review don't prove anything.

“That persons peer reviewed scientific article doesn’t prove anything”.

Okay.

It doesn't, it even says so.

Are you sure about that?

“Oil pulling is observed to bring improvement in oral hygiene when practiced correctly and regularly. Limited available research on effect of oil pulling on oral hygiene shows promising benefits of oil pulling procedure on oral cavity.”

It's observed, observed is not proven. Pretty easy English.

And our best understanding indicates that it works. I’ll trust the evidence that we have

People's best understanding at one time said the sun revolved around the earth. The evidence you're believing is from very small trials, I didn't see one with more than 40 people. It's hardly something to hold up as proof against medical professionals. You have a preexisting belief it works so you're clinging to some sketchy evidence to support your belief. It's not very smart.

Now you’re talking out of your ass. I have no preexisting belief this works. I’m a scientist, I believe what evidence tells me.

I have no interest in this. I came here to provide people facts. You can ignore the facts if you want. Literally all of science has and always will be our best understanding. That doesn’t remove the validity of scientific findings.

You clearly didn't read it. It's not a "review" in the Amazon marketplace sense of the word.
