Somers is in her early 70s now and has aged remarkably well. She doesn't attribute this to plastic surgery though. Somers is an advocate for a medical process called 'Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy,' a form of hormone replacement which is purported to have many health and anti-aging benefits, but about which little medical evidence exists.
The lack of evidence doesn't concern Somers, who has written and published a book called 'Ageless: The Naked Truth About Bioidentical Hormones' in support of the procedures. She stoked particular controversy in 2013, when she suggested that the shooter in the Sandy Hook massacre may have been affected by the toxins in his diet and being exposed to household cleaning agents. When she's not advocating unusual health causes, she still sometimes appears on television. Her most recent major appearance was in the 2015 series of 'Dancing with the Stars,' in which she was eliminated during the show's fifth week.
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.
