Of all of the mental myths that have made it onto this list, we'd have to say it's this one that turns our stomach just a little. The thought of the delicately glorious and fabulously iconic Debbie Harry in the grips of one of the most detestable monsters to have ever stolen oxygen is almost too horrifying to believe it's true.
But it is. Or at least the rumors still point toward the significant likelihood of Debbie Harry being picked up by Ted Bundy. Naysayers of the rumor have trouble believing the one-woman account of the events. But we're definitely inclined to believe that Harry hopped in with the creep that went on to slaughter a significant number of innocent young girls in America.
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.
