What are commonly called '''Tonsils''' are actually the palatine tonsils.  They are two masses of [[lymph]]oid tissue situated on either side of the [[throat]] at the back of the [[tongue]] and are oval in nature.

'''Tonsils''' is a term commonly used to reference the [[human]] palatine tonsils.  They are two masses of [[lymph|lymphoid]] tissue located on either side of the [[throat]] at the back of the [[tongue]] and are oval in nature.  The purpose of tonsils is to destroy foreign substances that are swallowed or breathed in.  The tonsils act as a filter against [[disease]].  

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.

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.
