There are some things that are better left unsaid. They are the types of things that are so big that everyone can assume that unless you say otherwise, that they aren't true. Like saying "I don't have herpes" right before having sex with someone is very unusual. It's highly specific and apropos of nothing. Don't even bring it up unless you actually have it. That's the same thing with haunted houses. If you say "this house isn't haunted," guess what? That house is now haunted - at least in my brain it is.
No one drives by houses for sale and wonders if they are haunted, but once you put a sign up about it you better believe that's what they think. Even if you're trying to fight off a bad reputation of the house being haunted, that sign isn't going to do you any favors.
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.
