As much as we don't like to admit it, We've probably all had a moment like this before. We don't like to admit it because it's just another example of nature outsmarting us, of animals getting so wily they can read us like a book and con us out of our own property. That look on his face is not one of anger, but disbelief. He's just realized that he might not be on top of the food chain.
Seagulls are probably the best animals out of all of them in giving us this feeling of mental inferiority. We've seen seagulls walk into a convenience store, brazenly pick up a packet of chips, and fly out. We've had seagulls fly in over our shoulder and take entire cheeseburgers out of our hands. Basically, we know exactly how you're feeling, buddy.
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.
