In most popular fiction of the last couple of decades, the end of the world only comes about in one way: a horrifying zombie apocalypse. Virus is unleashed on the world, people go all undead, and boom, the end of society as we know it. The predictions have been all too clear, but it's only now that the signs are starting to show themselves.
Just try to tell us that this truck wasn't involved in a minor zombie outbreak. With the flat tires, smashed windows, and blood everywhere, it looks like the undead got the upper hand this time. But let this be a warning for everyone else reading right now: we don't have much time left. Find a safe place, stock up on water and ammo, and good luck.
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.
