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.

They’re drinking what now? Jesus Christ on toast. This is almost as bad as people drinking essential oils cause they think they’re the same thing as tinctures.

Because of the way activated charcoal works it will affect ANY medication taken orally, which is why webmd says if you are taking it you should wait 1-2 hours before doing so to give your body time to absorb what it needs from your meds. It also says in great big bold letters “for short term use” not “put it in your late for a daily dose” good grief.
