Whether or not you believe it's man made, there's no way to disagree that global warming is real. Temperatures are changing, storms are getting bigger, and the weather is generally becoming something of an enemy to humanity. The issue is that, in a lot of people's heads, global warming looks a bit like this picture.
If you just think that global warming means exactly that - everything gets warmer Summer will be fantastic and we won't be as cold in Winter - then it's easy to see why you can't see the issue. In reality, if temperatures get too high, ice caps melt, sea levels rise, and it all goes a bit disaster-movie. You may well one day be able to stand in your garden and cook a steak, so long as you don't mind your garden being on fire whilst you do it.
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.
