This is a very common word that can apply to a number of people who work in many different trades. The person who repairs your car may refer to themselves as an engineer, whereas someone who works in the manufacture of medicine may be called a chemical engineer. The word is almost always used to apply to someone who builds or repairs something.
Originally, however, the word came into popular use with the advent of trains and train travel, and it used to specifically refer to the person who ran the train. That era might be where the mispronunciation used most frequently came from; you may have heard it as "in-jee-near", but it's actually "en-gi-neer". The end of the word needs the closest attention, it's an "ee" sound as in "seen", as opposed to sounding like "near".
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.
