This picture looks very familiar to me. That's because I did this exact same thing when I was a kid. I drew all over the hallway walls while my dog watched helplessly. When my parents found out they asked me what happened so I told them that the dog put the crayon in his mouth and started to draw. I then acted out how the dog would have done it. They asked, "why is there crayon all over your mouth as if you were the one who drew all over the wall using your mouth instead of your hand?" I didn't have a good answer for that. Just like that, I was grounded, though that's only because I was so young that I was pretty much always grounded.
That poor dog. He knew he was going to get blamed. Not only did he get assaulted, he got blamed too.
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.
