It's a sad and very current fact that guns kill a lot of people each year. Murders, killing sprees, even hunting accidents - people often forget just how deadly these weapons are. But guess who the biggest victims of gun deaths are. Go on, guess. That's right: it's the gun owners themselves who are most likely to be at the wrong end of the barrel.
While to a gun novice it might not look like there's anything wrong with this picture, anyone who's operated a rifle will immediately see what's about to happen. Basically, pretty much every gun will recoil with a heck of a lot of force. That's just the nature of the beast, and that's what the stock (the butt) of the rifle is for - to absorb that recoil with your shoulder. Except this woman hasn't got it against her shoulder, so her eye, against the scope, is going to take the entire hit. Ouch.
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.
