Everyone is equally creeped out as they are enamored by David Blaine's magical antics. The dude has done everything to possibly freak us out. He's levitated, like this guy (more on that later), he's held his breath for an insane amount of time, he's been shot in the mouth (more on that later too), and he's even stabbed himself. Who knew to be the next David Blaine all you needed was a wet circle of cement a few feet in front of you. The illusion is pretty good here, though not quite magic carpet lady good.
Let me tell you about how David Blaine was shot in the mouth. There's a special about it. The trick is simple. He puts a bulletproof cup in his mouth and then someone shoots him in the face. A trick doesn't get any simpler folks.
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.
