When Kim Kardashian shares something with her 343 million Instagram followers it's always likely to get people talking. And last week was no exception as the reality TV star posted a picture of a cup of charcoal tea on the social media platform.
The US socialite is a strong advocate of the new health craze along with big sister Kourtney, who favours a latte version of the charcoal-based beverage. The siblings recently teamed up to create a recipe for their own personal take on the detox drink and shared it on Kourtney's lifestyle website, Poosh.
It's important to note that nutritionist Hannah Macey told Yahoo that while small amounts of activated charcoal should not cause any harm or side effects, the long-term impacts of higher doses have yet to be studied. "If you do decide to take it, make sure it's not taken with any medication you may be on," she added.
