To anyone who thinks that doppelgangers aren't that freaky, we dare you to look at this photo. There's a reason that The X-Files, Buffy, Orphan Black, and just about every other horror show has dealt with unexplained body doubles - they're scary as heck. We don't know what it is - the thought that you're not as much of an individual that you thought you were, maybe.
Or maybe it's the idea that someone could just take over your life at any time. People have seen their doppelgangers plenty of times over the course of history, and it's not that uncommon. Even we bumped into Channing Tatum the other day. To capture a doppelganger on camera, that you didn't even know existed, is a whole other matter entirely. This coincidence almost seems too good to be true.
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.
