Suddenly pregnant because of using detox weight loss products

Starting last year when products containing activated charcoal (a toxic waste often used in hospitals) exploded on social media, young people immediately became fascinated. In New York in particular, detox foods are selling so well that many people have to queue up to buy them, including the eye-catching black detox ice cream.

Detox ice cream is the most sought after food in the UK.

But now, the New York Department of Health has ordered a recall of a number of activated charcoal products and asked stores to stop selling them, warning that they could interfere with, or reduce the effectiveness of, medications, including birth control pills.

Activated charcoal has been used in medicine for decades to treat drug overdoses and food poisoning. When activated charcoal is ingested, it absorbs the toxins in your stomach, but if you are taking medication, it also absorbs the medication.

According to the regulations of the New York City Department of Health, activated charcoal is theoretically not allowed to be used widely. However, when the detox food trend exploded, many restaurants and eateries broke the law for profit.

According to many experts, the abuse of activated charcoal foods can cause serious consequences because not only birth control pills, but even medications are also destroyed by creams and products made from activated charcoal.

Because it is so hot on social networks, many restaurants have disregarded the law.

Advice from Dr. Alyssa Dweck, a famous gynecologist in the US: "If you only eat one detox ice cream in a month, don't worry too much, that dose is not dangerous.

But if you eat 1-2 ice creams a day, the effectiveness of the contraceptive pill will be affected. Some people can still get pregnant while taking the contraceptive pill. If you are worried, I recommend you use condoms."

For many years now, detoxification has been a trend adopted by many women. Activated charcoal is advertised as a miracle drug that can absorb toxins from the body, support the digestive system and beautify the skin,...

Therefore, foods made from activated charcoal are also welcomed by Vietnamese people. Not only in the food industry, cosmetic companies also put this ingredient in their products with the role of detoxifying the skin, preventing acne, tightening pores,...

Vietnam is also very fond of foods containing activated charcoal.

So what is the right way to detox the body?

In addition to activated charcoal, there are many effective and safe methods of detoxifying the body, including the detox method of losing weight with water. Detox drinks are a combination of filtered water and vegetables and fruits, providing water, vitamins, and fiber; effective in detoxifying the body, while promoting the weight loss process to take place quickly.

How to make detox water at home for you:

Most detox drinks have fairly similar preparation steps:

- Put the ingredients (fruits, vegetables) at the bottom of the jar (glass jar is recommended).

- Fill the bottle halfway with ice, then add water until full. Refrigerate for about 1 hour before use.

- You can refill the water 2-3 times before the drink starts to lose flavor.
