We're not sure this is actually how evolution works, but wouldn't it be brilliant if it did? There would be monkeys and apes slowly becoming more like humans and picking up habits like catching a train to travel, and paying into the zoo to see their cousins. It would be wonderful. Occasionally violent and maybe a little terrifying, but mostly wonderful.
There's probably a point to be made here about not keeping intelligent creatures in cages. Gorillas in particular are very clever. They can be taught sign language and have fairly expansive conversations with humans. They can also communicate emotion and understanding of the world around them. In short, they're probably more like us than they are many of the other animals in the zoo. So, should we be caging them and giving them a feeding time, or letting them live and eat the way they'd prefer to?
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.
