The tonsils act as a filter against [[disease]]. They can become a site of infection, a condition known as [[tonsillitis]], and sometimes become enlarged. This condition is more prevalent during childhood, since tonsil tissue tends to regress with age. Removal of the tonsils is sometimes advised if frequent inflammation poses a threat to health.

In times past tonsils were considered to be [[vestigial structures]], meaning they were thought, under the theory of evolution, that they no longer had meaning in the modern human body and were left over from an earlier stage of development.  For many years it was common for tonsils to be removed almost hapharzardly.

Promoters of the [[theory of evolution]] taught that tonsils were [[vestigial structures]], whereby they no longer had meaning in the modern human body and were left over from an earlier stage of development.  This teaching, which was false, led to a common practice to remove the tonsils when they became inflamed.  Millions of children were needlessly injured by this procedure over a period of many decades, some even dying under the [[anesthesia]], before this false teaching by [[evolutionists]] was quietly rejected.
