I've heard some absolute twaddle in my time, but this vid takes the biscuit, giving air time to bubble headed, publicity whores.
As was succinctly pointed out in the comment below this, it MAY, interfere with SOME prescribed drugs, but no scientific evidence was produced to back this spurious and unsubstantiated claim.
Seems the dental industry has nothing to back the claim either, especially if the charcoal is finely ground.
As for imbibing it, as long as sufficient water is drank there will be no problem, but also remember...activated charcoal will adsorb most of the unnecessary crap that's added to your water and clear it from your system, leaving you much more healthy.
For the record, I haven't yet used activated charcoal.
I've a mind to start, though, after seeing the calculated drive against it.
My advice?
Do some research like I've just done.
An enquiring mind is the best weapon against those that think you're a fool.
