All you have to do is take a look at American cheese singles to know that they can't be good for you. They don't even melt properly when they're heated and they're an unnatural color. There's a reason for that and it's because they're dyed in order to get that yellow-orange tinge. As you can probably guess, some of these food dyes are carcinogenic, which means they could cause cancer.
Cheese singles like this are also packed with sodium and other chemicals that are not good for you. The one piece of good news in all this is that you now have a great excuse to buy fresh, healthy cheese for your sandwiches. Don't risk it on this fake food. Pick up some nice parmesan, brie, or cheddar at the store and watch your food and life improve.
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.
