Moroccan Scott Cannon is not Moroccan, as the seven-year-old will likely have to explain to people for the rest of his life. He's the son of rapper and comedian Nick Cannon and the world-famous singing diva Mariah Carey, and has a twin named Monroe. He probably envies his sister for her comparatively normal name.
Usually, there's a story behind a name that's so unusual, and there is in this case. It just isn't necessarily a good one. The child is called 'Moroccan' because the decor in the room in which Cannon proposed to Carey was Moroccan in theme. That isn't the strongest reasoning we've ever heard of, and we can't help but wonder if the same strategy would have been employed had the proposal happened in the kitchen, or in the bathroom. At least she hadn't decked her home out in a Venetian theme at the time, because that may have been even worse.
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.
