Have you ever been making dinner and touched copious amounts of onions, garlic, fish, or other smelly food product and couldn't get the smell off your hands for the life of you? Or have you been touching smelly dish rags only for the smell to rub off onto your hands and now you're smelling your fingers in public like a weirdo as spectators stare in disgust? It happens but there's a new product on the market that might leave some of you scratching your heads due to the unknown factor as to how it works.
This stainless steel soap bar that only cost approximately nine bucks has the ability to remove strong scents like garlic, fish, and onions after being wetted and used like a normal soap bar. We're not exactly sure how it works but some reviewers have said that it even removes body odor and they've stopped using deodorant. Personally, we wouldn't recommend doing that but, eh, to each his own.
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.
