The connection to 'The Brady Bunch' may have made McCormick famous, but it might also have been her Achilles' heel. She was so closely identified with the role that she struggled to find work elsewhere when the show was over and found herself returning to play Marcia time and again in special episodes during the 1980s. She's had some small film roles, but she never achieved the superstardom that was forecast for her.
McCormick has been open about the issues she faced when 'The Brady Bunch' finished, and they will also have impacted her career prospects. She developed an addiction to both cocaine and Methaqualone shortly after the end of the show's original run and would routinely turn up for auditions on drugs and deprived of sleep. For this reason, she lost out on a part in the 1984 'Indiana Jones' movie 'Raiders of the Lost Ark.' She battled her addictions for years before getting help in the 1990s and settling down with her husband.
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.
