One thing that we are very used to doing is giving importance and gravitas to old, historical things. That can cause us to not see things for what they truly are. Take the elderly for example. I'm not saying that you shouldn't love the elderly. I'm saying that just because someone's old doesn't mean they aren't a jerk. Don't waste your time giving respect to an old person just because they're old. They have to earn it just like you do. Now, enough picking on the elderly. Let's pick on the white house.
The White House has been in disarray for a while. Like the past couple hundred years. But seriously, it seems like this recent iteration of the US government has been screwing up badly. The magnificent image of the white house isn't so magnificent when it's filled with crap. That's what this image reminds us. All that glitters is not gold.
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.
