Hurry And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:05

by oil pulling not to be confused with oil wrestling

00:09

The national sport of turkey it's Not even a joke

00:13

Okay read the following sentence from the passage The oil

00:16

allegedly pulls toxins out of your system right The author

00:21

uses the word allegedly to suggest that oil pulling what

00:26

And here the potential answers No Well when we don't

00:32

know the definition of a word we have to rely

00:34

on context clues Luckily for us context clues or generally

00:39

reliable they're never late for a meeting And while they

00:41

always refill the britta because how annoying is it when

00:44

the britta is sitting there empty in the fridge Really

00:47

hard context tells us that choice a is nowhere near

00:50

right there no hints in the passage that oil pulling

00:53

is painful So if we did it with boiling oil

00:56

well that might be a prob All right there's also

00:58

nothing in the passage to support choice be if a

01:01

person dies from swishing oil in her mouth well then

01:04

it was time to go Choi si is a definite

01:06

no The author tells us that there's no medical proof

01:10

that oil pulling works So if the medical expert went

01:12

around claiming there was proof he'd be begging for a

01:15

lawsuit answer d is the only one that works Truth

01:18

is oil pulling might not actually work way use the

01:22

word allegedly whenever we want to show that something isn't

01:26

a proven fact is just someone's belief from now on

01:30

we're choosing to believe that buffalo wings increase longevity Just 00:01:34.308 --> [endTime] try to prove us wrong
