Alexandra Kyle had the dream break out role when she first hit the big screen in 1996 as an eight-year-old. She got to star alongside both Sally Field and Kiefer Sutherland in the psychological thriller, Eye for an Eye. Kyle really stole the show with her portrayal of adorable Megan McCann. In that same year, she also got to appear with Sandra Bullock, Matthew McConaughey, Ashley Judd, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kevin Spacey in A Time to Kill.
Kyle continued her acting career, however, she never quite made it back to Sally Field's co-star levels of fame. She appeared in 13 Going On 30, which starred Jennifer Garner, as well as a few television shows, including The Practice, Days of Our Lives, and Without a Trace. Her most recent role on television was as Roz in the series, Justified.
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.
