Hush-hush government experiments and secret army projects are just the fantasy of conspiracy nut jobs, right? Wrong. Those whackos were right all along, and the government has actually been making great strides towards the future and not telling anyone about it. If you thought that Iron Man was only in the movies, we've got a surprise for you.
So-called exoskeletons for US ground troops have been in research and development for years now, and those forays into the bleeding edge of tech are starting to bear fruit. It might not be the iconic red and yellow suit donned by Robert Downey Jr, but it does let soldiers jump higher, punch harder, run faster, and take far more damage before succumbing. Too bad war is just drone strikes now, huh.
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.
