Activated Charcoal = ineffective meds

Friendly reminder that activated charcoal, even when put into food as a black colorant, binds to medication and can make it ineffective. Yes, this includes birth control! I thought I’d put this PSA out there since people are making spooky “black” versions of normal foods.

Seriously, use Dutch cocoa (like Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder) or food dye instead. It’s much safer.
