John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States from 1961 until 1963 when he was assassinated. During his presidency, the Cold War was at its peak so much of Kennedy's service was in regards to managing the relations with the Soviet Union. He was a Harvard University graduate and as a kid, he was noted to score 199 points on the Otis intelligence Test. He has been ranked as the 3rd smartest president according to public polls.
One of Kennedy's accomplishments was the winning of the Pulitzer Prize for Biography for his work "Profiles in Courage." He became a president at the age of 43 which marked him as the second youngest to do so. As a president, he had to deal with high tensions with communist states such as Cuba while at home, he oversaw the establishment of the Peace Corps and he supported the African-American Civil Rights Movement.
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.
