Life since she became Caitlyn has been a rollercoaster ride for the most famous openly transgender woman in the world. The media frenzy reached epic proportions, and all of a sudden all eyes were on Caitlyn, and how she would represent her newly adopted community. This was an evolution, and all of a sudden the wider world was finally starting to realize what being transgender really meant.
Sure, there has been some missteps. Any person at the forefront of a revolution is going to say some things they regret, and her comment that the hardest part about being a woman is "figuring out what to wear" certainly raised some eyebrows. But all in all, the wider world is now a richer and more well-informed place for having Caitlyn Jenner in it.
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.
