so i guess activated charcoal lattes are the newest latte trend? for why? i hate to break it to y’all but unless you’ve ingested poison recently, activated charcoal has no real benefits. just stick to matcha [polyphenols/ antioxidants] and chai [antioxidants+anti-inflammatory]

also, if you’re on any important medications, and i know a lot of you are, don’t fucking drink these. charcoal doesn’t discriminate. it’ll render your meds useless and absorb them too as well as some other beneficial nutrients

^^^^ including hormonal birth control. Don’t fall for the charcoal bullshit. Stay safe.

We have definitely had this discussion before, but it’s worth having again.

And charcoal doesn’t just absorb meds. It just absorbs stuff. So all that healthy crap you added to your smoothie is just gonna get sucked right back up by the charcoal.

(yes I’m simplifying, no that does not make my warning useless)
