You ever see two people and wonder how those two are possibly friends? I once saw a black guy hanging out with a white dude wearing a confederate flag jacket. I don't mean to make any big assumptions about people who sport the confederate flag, but it seems like someone might be confused in that situation. It's kind of like when you see a cat and a dog sleeping together. Good on you two for getting along, but I'm still shook.
In this case, these two girls are clearly friends for a reason. One of them thinks that every cat is their best friend, the other thinks they are a cat. That's the good thing about cat people. We aren't afraid to wear cat apparel, and when we do we make tons of other cat friends.
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.
