The Use of Siwak During the Day in Ramadan

Question
Does using siwak during the day in Ramadan break the fast, and does chewing siwak and swallowing what is in it break the fast?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Using a miswak during the day in Ramadan does not break the fast; rather, it is recommended to use it. Even if one chews it and swallows what is in it, it does not break the fast as long as nothing physical from it enters the throat. And God knows best.
