Wow, this is quite the transformation! We remember watching Taran Noah Smith on the sitcom, Home Improvement way back in the day. He played Mark Taylor, the youngest of Tim Taylor's (played by Tim Allen) three sons. He was always getting bullied by his older brothers - in one episode they even convinced him he was adopted!
Smith went on to appear in a few other television shows, including Ebbie, Little Bigfoot, and 7th Heaven, but he discovered that acting wasn't really what he enjoyed. Luckily for him, he made a bunch of cash as a child actor and had the option to pursue his real passion: vegan and organic food. He now runs his own food business and doesn't miss the showbiz life at all! He probably doesn't make as much money, but at least he's doing what he loves.
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.
