I'm not going to stand here and say that lemons wouldn't be good in orange juice, because I'm sure they would be. It's like a lemonade with orange juice. That's not so bad. The problem I have is that it can't be so good that it dictates a sign. That's not the headline for lemons. A good headline for lemons would be, "goes great in lemonade." That makes a lot more sense to me. I don't even think I need you to tell me what lemons are good for. It's not like people have forgotten how to use lemons.

I'd be mad even if these were oranges and it said "perfect for orange juice." It's like, duh. I get that it's perfect for orange juice. You know why? Because orange juice has orange in the title. It's kind of a given that it'll be good for orange juice.

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.
