How British people feel about Margaret Thatcher will depend on which one of them you speak to. Some feel that she restored the nation's pride, defended the Falkland Isles against the Argentinians and crushed the dangerous socialist fringes of trade unionist movements. Others believe she provoked a needless war with Argentina, pursued an agenda against common workers, destroyed the coal industry and stole milk from school children. It's all a matter of perspective!
Thatcher was driven from power in 1990 but lived until 2013, enduring years of poor health in her later years, and especially seeming to struggle after the death of her husband Denis, who had always been her strongest supporter. This last-known image of her was taken at her 87th birthday celebration in October 2012. She suffered a fatal stroke on April 8th the following year.
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.
