ID: tis the season to remember that activated charcoal can render oral birth control ineffective
I thought you were trolling at first, but nope, this is legit.

Not sure why anyone would troll about something like this, but also never trust random people on the internet, especially on medical advice, so.. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Thanks for adding sources

This and your other comments in this thread make me concerned for you. There are a LOT of real, actual, existing human beings that delusionally think that tricking someone into pregnancy against their will is a morally victorious action, by any means necessary. They donβt concern themselves with such pleasantries as βgood faithβ statements. They are a minority of people, but not by much. Please look after yourself and donβt underestimate the evil that organized religion is capable of.
The article you link to does not show any effect of activated charcoal on ovulation in women who use oral contraceptives. Not saying it's a good idea to eat charcoal, but the study didn't find an effect.
Activate charcoal is very common medicine to fight gas and/or mild intestinal discomfort. Very effective when my farts become too noxious and I need to debloat....
Was it TMI..?
Had a cousin eat some spooky bread and found out the hard way what going cold turkey off her depression meds felt like. It was a rough couple days to get her back to baseline.
Ooof, that's bad, could potentially be fatal. Take care out there, fellow medicated people!
Since when do people eat activated charcoal? Am I missing something here?
Since they started giving birth orally.
Pukebirth sounds like a band name.
Why burn your food for that harsh crunchy texture? Just eat activated charcoal instead, no need to spend all that time and money burning food, just pure taste sensation!
Years ago it was a trend to put activated charcoal in stuff like toothpaste and milk based coffee drinks.
Still is for toothpaste at least
Do you guys not take it against gas? That's a common item in medicine cabinets where I am.
I use simethicone for gas.
this isn't medical advice, but activated charcoal pretty much absorbs everything. don't take it the same time you take a pill if you want that pill to do anything
And grapefruit can screw up various medicines! Not that this really applies to October. More in general.
There's stuff out there that can just make the pill ineffective? You'd think this would be known more widely.
There are several. Grapefruit is another example that comes to mind.
And I agree, these things should be much more widely known. But now you know!
Another big one is antibiotics. I can tell you that none of my doctors when I lived in Texas mentioned it. It just slips their mind...
Y'all been adding activated charcoal to your drinks? I mean, dyed sugar is the only other thing I can think of to have that same 'look' to it but still, if all my garnish options sucked I'd just pour the drink without a garnish.
Good for you. Plenty of others do consume it though (you probably have too, without realising. It isn't just added to drinks like the photo might suggest), and I'm sure they'd appreciate the heads up.
At first I thought this was about blowjobs.
O.o. What's with the brackets around the A in aware?
Be ware (because spooky)/be aware (because PSA), it's just a play on words..
Ok, I will try to consume less activated charcoal π
I swear I'm never going near the stuff, lest I'm fully committed to giving oral birth!
