Detox with activated carbon – yes or no?

In recent months, the trend has spread to use activated charcoal in cooking or take capsules directly to detoxify the body.

How did it start? Initially, activated carbon has the ability to absorb more than its own weight, and therefore is used in poisoning to quickly remove harmful substances from the body. Based on this practice, several nutritionists decided to test the properties of charcoal and detoxification for weight loss. Gradually, the idea of mixing small particles of the active ingredient with various drinks and dishes appealed to many people because of the unique dark color that the food acquires, and so this trend began.

But does charcoal really help to lose weight and cleanse the body?

In fact, many questions arise about this practice. Since experts are not engaged in research on ways to detoxify the body, since this is a controversial topic in the field of wellness, we know very little about what actually happens when we take charcoal. It is even more difficult to establish what the long-term effect will be.

We are not sure how much it needs to be added when cooking dishes and drinks. All recipes that say, for example, to add a teaspoon of powdered charcoal to a cocktail, one can only guess whether this is the correct dosage.

We only know that it can really get rid of some toxins in the body, but along with them charcoal removes many other substances from our body. It does not choose the nature of the absorbed substances, so it can deprive us of a large percentage of vitamins and minerals.

Even more disturbing is the fact that according to the unofficial theory of a nutritionist, charcoal can also absorb the medications we took. According to the expert, the active substance has the ability to neutralize the effect of tablets of any type. That's why the specialist warns people taking strong medications and women using contraceptives not to use any amount of charcoal in cooking.

However, it is likely that if charcoal is used infrequently, and to decorate some dishes and drinks, and not so much for detoxification, it will not be so harmful to health. However, it is important to be careful with this ingredient. You will definitely like it exporntoons.net porn of various genres!
