Appearing as a 'Bond Girl' in any of the famous 'James Bond' movies can be a double-edged sword for an actress. It's either the launching pad to a hugely successful career, or it's a one-way ticket to typecasting from which you never return. In the case of Jane Seymour, it turned out to be the former. She was fantastic as 'Solitaire' in 'Live and Let Die,' but perhaps even better in 'Frankenstein' the following year.
After those two movies, the pattern was set for Seymour. She would appear in 'Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger' and 'The Four Feathers' in the big screen before the decade was out, coupled with various appearances on television shows and TV movies. At some point in the 70s, she says she was sexually harassed by a movie producer and considered giving up the profession, but ultimately decided to carry on.
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.
