Like many German composers, Johannes Brahms spent most of his life in Vienna, the capital of classical music, working on his craft. He is often held in the same regard as other famous composers of the time, including Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart. There's no doubt about it - Brahms was one talented guy when it came to anything music-related.
As a child, Brahms was exposed to much debauchery as he accompanied his father to dive bars to perform for sailors and sex workers. The women would occasionally sit on his lap and sexually molest him. Brahms was a notorious misogynist, and many scholars pinpoint this time in his childhood as the reason why he developed an unhealthy attitude towards women. He also went on to pay sex workers for their services when he was an adult, avoiding romance as much as possible.
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.
