He may not have touched Hollywood in a long, long time, but Austin St. John has still always kept his eye out for interesting projects. Not to become a superstar or anything, but more to just show the world that he still has it. One such project is Survival's End, an Indiegogo-funded project about a super outbreak of the Ebola virus which started filming last year.
While we're yet to see the results of that film, it bodes well for us hopefully seeing more of our Red Ranger leader. He's also slated to appear with the rest of the old cast in a film called The Order, a martial arts sci-fi flick that was also funded through Indiegogo. Again, it hasn't been released yet (or even filmed), but 2018 is looking hopeful for a triumphant return of the big guy.
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.
