Hand up who wants to be a cop. No-one? Well, that's not a total surprise. It's gotta be just about one of the harshest and hardest jobs out there. The public hate you, the criminals hate you, they keep cutting your pay, and to top it all off you might just get shot at for walking down the street. Fun.
Even if you do end up in a backwater town filing paperwork, don't think that the job is any less dangerous. Just ask this officer, who encountered this fierce gator while walking back to his car. It was a routine traffic stop that turned into anything but, and it was only through his quick thinking that he didn't end up sleeping with the crawfishes.
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.
