Asked in an interview with Yahoo! News about the name he chose for himself when he decided to become a man, Balian has said this: 'There was a Balian of Ibelin, who left everything that was important to him. He lost his house, his job and his wife and embarked on the journey to find himself. His determination was to help people.'
Since the surgery, Balian's been content just to use his looks to join the world of A-list celebrities. Adored in his home town and country, rarely a day goes by that he's not snapped with some honey on his arm, attending some gala or another. Like Chaz Bono, Buschbaum's also appeared on the German version of Dancing With The Stars, called Let's Dance. This guy is absolutely unstoppable if you ask us.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
