When it comes to breakfast sandwiches, we've finally met a full cancer trilogy. You've got the refined white flour used to make the bun. Then there's the highly processed meats inside. Add in the 'fake' slice of American cheese and you've got yourself a recipe for disaster. We haven't even mentioned the high salt and trans fats content yet.
We get it, sometimes you're in a rush and it's just easier to heat one of these bad boys up and jump in the car. Just don't go making a habit of it. We would even suggest you go one further and give it up completely. Store something else in your fridge for emergency breakfasts instead. You don't need to keep cancer sandwiches around, even if it's just every once in a while. Try hard boiled eggs on a slice of whole wheat bread.
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.
