Tonsils act as a filter to keep certain microbial and viral illnesses out of your body. I've had tonsilitis more times than I ever wanted to, and each time I begged my doctor to just scoop the damn things out he gives me this explanation. It's considered an "unnecessary procedure," and insurance won't cover it if it's elective.
See above for the relationship between my tonsils and tortilla chips.
