After reviewing the evidence here, we have to ask a very serious question. Is 'Black Eyed Peas' singer Fergie a time traveler? We're forced to consider the possibility because these pictures were taken twenty years apart, and yet she looks younger now than she did back then. We don't just mean in her physical appearance either; we're talking about the way she dresses.
When Fergie broke out into the music scene, she was presented as an up and coming artist from the streets. Her prom night picture is worlds away from that image. She's dripping in expensive-looking jewelry, she has immaculate long white gloves on to compliment her debutante dress, and she's carrying flowers. She looks like British royalty attending a high society dinner. If we didn't know any better, we'd have thought it was a picture of the other 'Fergie'; the former Duchess of York!
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
