I see warnings about this every year, but it’s easy to think that means everyone knows. Activated charcoal is put in drinks in October to color them black.

The trouble with this is that it can keep your body from absorbing medications.

I don’t know the details of which ones (I know I’ve seen lists before that include birth control), but personally I think it would be best to avoid it if you’re taking any medicine by mouth.
