George W. Bush is one of the more recent US presidents, and he is also one of the more controversial ones, given how many people either like him or hate him. He is a member of the Republican Party, and he served as the 43rd president of the United States. He served for two full terms, eventually being replaced by Barack Obama, the first African American president in US history.
He served as president between the years 2001 and 2009, and his presidency was marked by the 9/11 attack. The 9/11 attack made George Bush change the entire foreign policy of the US, leading to several different wars and interventions across the whole world, most notably in the Middle East, a region which is still influenced by some of those decisions.
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.
