Despite what you may have read on internet forums, or seen in movies, bears do not make a habit of attacking humans. They'd rather we just kept out of their way, and they'll stay away from us. Very rarely has anyone been attacked by a bear without doing something to provoke it, but it's best to avoid getting too close to them, all the same.
Unfortunately, getting too close to them is a regular accident in Alaska. Nobody told the bears that humans want to share the State with them, and so they'll occasionally come and defend their territory if we wander too close to the places they live. In those situations, it helps if you have something handy to make your escape with; for example, a bike. We bet this cyclist broke his 'Personal Best' records on this day!
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.
