Ever heard the expression 'if it seems too good to be true then it probably is'? In this case, the saying has never been so irrelevant. In fact, it's a miracle. The Black Label Society Guitarist actually did save his own life by his excessive alcohol consumption. Before you go getting any 'Wylde' ideas, let us explain what actually happened.
It's not something that we would recommend trying at home, however Wylde's party antics helped him to unknowingly pass not one but THREE blood clots through his heart and survive. Whilst this would kill any ordinary man, the fact that Zakk Wylde's blood was kept so thin from alcohol consumption without doubt allowed him to survive through the experience in 2009. Cheers Zakk, have one on us.
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.
