Here's a dog facing a quandary that none of us would welcome. The skunk is eating his food. By rights, he should attack the skunk and drive it away, but it surely knows that the skunk will respond by spraying him with its foul odor. He's taken the wise route and decided to sit back and let the skunk finish its meal instead, in the hope that it will leave something for him.
Not all dogs are as clever as this one; in some parts of America, curious dogs get sprayed by skunks so often that manufacturers of pet products have had to create special shampoos to help get rid of the stench! Look how angry the canine is about all of this, though. You can just see in its eyes that it's already planning its revenge.
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.
