All you have to do is look at the box and you've basically seen the picture of a future heart attack. The fact that anyone still eats these concoctions is truly baffling, especially given the main ingredient of "ham and water product" in the ham and cheese flavored Hot Pocket. In addition to the tempting "ham and water product" Hot Pockets contain carrageenan, mono and diglycerides, as well as some very questionable cheese ingredients. Basically, these things are just bad news.
If you want to stay alive and also enjoy having a mouth that isn't burnt on the inside, consider making a little panini for yourself instead. Homemade pizzas are another option if you're looking for the cured meat and melted cheese combo. Or you could try a sandwich. Or basically any snack that isn't a Hot Pocket. We know you'll thank us later.
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.
