6. Clint Eastwood

We're probably being a little fanciful here. Clint Eastwood is 88 and will be closer to 90 by the time 2020 rolls around. We've missed the boat on the possibility of Clint Eastwood ever becoming President. That feels like something of a shame - he's very much cut from the same cloth as Ronald Reagan, and would likely have governed in a similar manner.

Politically, Eastwood has registered himself as Libertarian. He's got some experience of holding office, too - he was once the mayor of the small town of Carmel-by-the-Sea in California. His most recent foray into politics was a confusing one; he backed Mitt Romney in the 2012 Presidential election and gave a live television address to an empty chair, which was intended to represent Barack Obama. It was confusing and eccentric, but it was captivating viewing.

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.
