why on an empty stomach?

Hi everyone, I've been oil pulling for approx. 1 month now after hearing about it on another site. It's great to find this dedicated forum although I sure wish the formatting here was a bit more user-friendly... Anyway, I do OP first thing in the morning when I get up, and would like to do it at least once more per day but my problem is that I cannot go for 3 or 4 hours without food or drink. I have a high metabolism and graze on small snacks or meals throughout the day. After a couple hours without food I'm usually starving! Would there be any benefit at all to OP if I may have food or liquid in my stomach, or should I just stick to doing it in the mornings? Tweet
