#3 Charcoal the Medical Marvel! Detox!

Need we remind you? Your body doesn’t need detoxification. That’s what your liver is for! If you consume poison, the Emergency Room doctor may use activated charcoal to treat you. However, if you have not eaten poison there is no need to eat charcoal. If you do, the charcoal will have some negative effects such as reducing your body’s absorption of vitamins and minerals and even any medication you are taking. It may also cause constipation.
Taking charcoal is about as beneficial as the “wind” that it does not actually cure.
