Is Activated Charcoal good for you?

    Yes, given the right circumstances. Used in alternative medicine for over a century now, Activated Charcoal is often suggested to treat bloating and gas, and the pores in its surface are believed to be able to soak up bad toxins and chemicals in the body, similar to how it's used to purify water for drinking. It's also commonly used externally in many beauty treatments.
