Luis Quiles is a well-known Spanish artist, who has created countless thought-provoking pieces over the years. This particular piece is by far one of the most interesting he has created to date. It highlights how one's family and friends can be lethal.
We guess what it's really trying to say is that the ones we trust can easily turn on us and cause death. More importantly, it highlights the number of deaths caused each year that are carried out by one of our family members or friends. This piece really gets you wondering whether you can trust the people you surround yourself with. Is it really a concern we should burden our minds with? Yes, we feel that Quiles is making a point with this piece and it's something we should consider.
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.
