All of the pictures we've seen so far have come days or even months before someone passed away (with the sole exception being Mahatma Gandhi). In the case of former American politician Robert Kennedy, this picture almost arrived moments after. It captures a panicked and terrifying scene after he was shot on June 5th, 1968. Kennedy would survive the evening, but died in a London hospital the following morning.
The man in prison for Kennedy's murder is Jordanian Sirhan Sirhan, although he's always denied the killing and evidence suggests that he couldn't have fired the fatal bullets. It was just another terrible night in a century of them for the Kennedy family whom some speculate have been cursed by a supernatural force. Many of the political Kennedys and their descendants - including former President John F. Kennedy - have met with unnatural ends.
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.
