BBC News article:
Coconut oil could combat tooth decay
BBC News 3 September 2012
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19435442
This article describes research in which coconut oil, broken down with enzymes, was found to reduce oral bacteria, and fungal growth.
It looks like they might have had oil pulling in mind for this research.
I should think that any oil might get broken down a bit with the enzymes in saliva, when doing oil pulling.
