Think about it. If you were one of four living creatures hanging out together, and suddenly three of them starting drinking milk off of the floor, wouldn't that seem like the right thing to do? It's majority rules in that situation. That's how Tarzan was able to do all the crazy thing he grew up to do. He saw everyone else swinging from vines so he just assumed that was OK. That's why this baby is doing the right thing, but the parents... not so much.
We've all sucked a beverage off of a flat surface before, right? I can't remember the last time I did it. It was definitely before I learned about germs. I probably spilled my delicious fruit punch and didn't want to let a drop go to waste. Now it seems disgusting.
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.
