It turns out that Jesus wasn't Jared Leto pretty with perfect abs after all. In fact, he looks a lot like your average carpenter. Perhaps Jesus on the crucifix was the first example of airbrushing in history? But hold on, let's take a step back from this one considering the fact that it was pretty impossible to determine which living man of that era was actually Jesus Christ.
The reconstruction of the man who may have been Jesus or just some random guy that was found under the Shroud of Turin will probably come as quite a surprise to all of those who were expecting a white male Adonis. Turns out that Jesus is another historical figure that got whitewashed. The west really has to stop that nasty habit of stealing other cultures and adopting them as their own.
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.
