We did say we were likely to be visiting the Kardashians again, so don't say we didn't warn you. Kim is the highest profile of the whole family; the first to make it into the media's glare, and seemingly the most adept at staying there. She's the poster-girl for reality television and product endorsement, with millions of followers on her social media accounts. Part of the reason that the public doesn't like her is because she's 'famous for being famous,' but her marriage to the equally-unpopular Kanye West hasn't helped with her image either.
Even taking all of the above into account, Kardashian doesn't appear to have done anything wrong. On top of that, she does a lot right. Like her sister Khloe, she's campaigned tirelessly for recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Her interest in the law and prison reform saw prisoner Alice Marie Johnson released in 2018, after serving 21 years for a first-time drugs offense. She's even studying to become a lawyer herself!
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.
