Millard Fillmore served as the 13th president of the US, between the years of 1850 to 1853. He was the last member of the Whig Party while still being in the White House. Before his presidency, he also worked as a US Representative from the state of New York. He was then elected as the country's 12th vice president back in the year 1848.
He got elevated to the rank of president after the death of US president Zachary Taylor. He was one of the most instrumental figures to get the "Compromise of 1850" to be passed, which was a type of bargain that led to a short-lived truce in the battle over slavery in the US. However, he failed to win the Whig Party nomination for president during the vote of 1852.
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.
