All the truth about activated carbon: detox or harm?

Recently, a real crazy has occurred on activated carbon-it can be found not only in pharmacies but also. What is worth an ice cream with activated carbon or lemonade that is served in fashion bars. But what do scientists think about this way to “clean” the body? Nothing good. Basically activated carbon is used as a drug for poisoning and intoxication.

How activated carbon works? It arises because it is treated at high temperatures. Thanks to this structure, it absorbs the particles that occur in the path. He can “collect” only in the stomach and intestines, and the so-called “household toxins”, from which it allegedly cleans coal (according to supporters of his constant reception), accumulate in the lungs, bronchi, cardiovascular system. “Collects” not only harmful but also useful compounds. For example, it can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals from food. So food with the addition of coal = not benefit, but sorry.

If you want to use coal somehow, use for cosmetic purposes – it cleanses the skin perfectly.
