You know New York City has the best tap water when you can brag about it and everyone knows what you're talking about. Hopefully you've heard about this or else I just sound like a crazy person. New York has delicious tap water for some reason, and it's the reason why their bagels and pizza are better than anywhere else. I'd be bragging about drinking NYC tap too, but that's just because I've never been there.
The water has to be better than Flint, Michigan. No one is bragging about drinking Flint's water. That's right. I'm going to use this paragraph to talk about Flint, Michigan. They've had poisoned drinking water for over four years and no one is doing anything about it. If you went and visited Flint, Michigan you'd have to pay $20 for a bottle of water.
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.
