The SETI project - the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence - has been underway for years now, trying to attract alien attention to Earth by broadcasting radio signals and monitoring responses. For some scientists, however, contact has already been received, and there's measurable proof.
In 1977, the 'Big Ear' radio telescope in Ohio received a transmission that seemed to come from somewhere towards the constellation of Sagittarius and ticked all of the boxes for what an alien transmission should look like. The broadcast lasted for 72 full seconds, and although we have made multiple attempts to respond, has never been repeated. Despite this, no satisfactory scientific explanation for the broadcast has ever been found, and a broadcast from an alien civilization remains the most likely cause.
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.
