We can tell you how to say this word correctly, but we bet you just keep to the same way you've been saying it for years and carry on regardless. This is a really strange one. For a start, there are people right now looking at the word "regardless" and imagining there are extra letters placed in the front of it. Another one where we have taken a pretty simple word and turned it into something more complicated.
No, this word is not "ir-rig-ard-less". Irregardless isn't even a real word, it's a contraction of "irrespective" and "regardless" that most dictionaries refuse to recognize. Because there's no double 'r' sound at the start, it isn't "rig-ard-less", either. Let that 'e' do its work, and let the word sound out the way it's supposed to - "ree-gard-less".
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.
