Wade Davis is another NFL player who's come out as gay, but he didn't feel able to do so until years after his career was over. In truth, as a player he was better known to fans of NFL Europe than he was the full NFL; he was in the off-season squads of the Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans, and Washington Redskins, but he only ever got game time for the Berlin Thunder and the Barcelona Dragons. A knee injury ended his playing career in 2003.
Realizing that he could make a difference as both a sportsman and a person of color in coming out, he announced himself in 2012 and has since then devoted his time to LGBT causes, including appearances as a public speaker as well as a writer and educator. He and writer Darnell L. Moore founded the '#thisisluv campaign to highlight LGBT causes within the black community.
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.
