The motto of most police departments is, famously, "to protect and serve", and that's the basic guideline of good policing pretty much everywhere. Looking at this picture, we guess they just take it that little bit more seriously in Boston.
Shortly after the Boston marathon bombing, things were as serious as serious could get in Watertown. A "stay in place" order had been enacted, meaning residents were unable to leave their homes, and the entire town was basically in lock down. Those aren't ideal conditions to have a young child in, especially when you have nothing in the house and you can't get to the shops. That's what makes Officer John Bradley a special kind of police officer. Having become aware of a house in his watch area containing a 17 month old child, and no supplies, he went to the store for them and came back with two gallons of milk, for which he refused to accept any payment.
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.
