Activated Charcoal is "the most powerful adsorbent known to man". Each particle contains many small chambers and cavities that capture or bind up unwanted materials and gas. The charcoal then carries it safely through the digestive system. In 1813 a prominent French chemist drank 150 times the normally lethal dose of arsenic without ill effect. His secret? He had mixed the arsenic with charcoal. Charcoal was used in gas masks in WWI, and is still used today in protective masks and suits against hazardous chemicals, nerve gas and other biological toxins. Although it is commonly accepted that 'charcoal' from burnt foods increases cancer potential, this is not the case with activated charcoal. There are several factors that attest to activated charcoals' safety: activated charcoal is not "burnt" as there is no oxygen in the heating process activated charcoal is not absorbed into the bloodstream etc.
