The United States election of 2016 was an interesting one to say the least. Many people had a very easy time voting for Mr. Trump, while others had just as easy a time voting for Mrs. Clinton. Still, there was a huge portion of the population that just couldn't decide. Not because either candidate was the best either. People had a hard time deciding because it was like choosing the lesser of two evils.
Some would argue that Donald Trump has turned out to be far more than a pest, but we'll never know what a Hillary Clinton presidency would look like. I think there would be a lot less discussion about Stormy Daniels and pee. That is something I'm willing to bet on. This perfectly sums up what many Americans went through, and why over a quarter of the population didn't even bother voting.
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.
