There's being a child star, and then there's being a star as a baby. Babies are required all the time for television and movie roles, and so (sometimes pushy) parents are free to sign their offspring up for them. That's what happened to Dylan Sprouse, but he took to it like a duck to water. A few years later he was a regular on the Disney Channel as the star of 'The Suite Life on Deck,' and had the world at his feet. He used those feet to turn around and walk in a different direction.
The older Sprouse got, the less he seemed to like the acting world. He was known to advise other performers to invest their money wisely because acting was a 'commission job' with no guarantees and plenty of room to fall down. In what might be the most unusual career change we've seen so far, Sprouse now owns a brewery in which he produces mead - an alcoholic drink which was at its most popular during medieval times.
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.
