Here's a fun fact about small monkeys. Despite their size, they are still strong enough to rip you limb from limb. Oh, did I say it was a fun fact? I must have meant "horrifying fact." Knowing that, I don't know how anyone trusts their lives around monkeys. I don't care if it's a trained monkey or a wild monkey. Both are expected to snap at any moment. The trained monkeys snap because they are sick of being trained. The wild monkeys snap because they are untrained. Oh, the irony.
This woman was expecting a simple selfie with a monkey, but she forgot about one thing: monkey business. If you're chilling with a monkey, there is bound to be monkey business. Hopefully she didn't get her face ripped off seconds later, though I'm sure she left with a couple less strands of hair at the very least.
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.
