Eddie Murphy was the face of comedy during his historic run in the '80s which helped shaped his blockbuster Hollywood career that is finally slowing down in the 2010s. From the Beverly Hills Cop series, Coming To America, Harlem Nights, Boomerang, and his still highly sought-after comedy releases in Delirious and Raw, there wasn't a man alive who didn't want to rock one of those tight leather suits and be just like Eddie. Even though Murphy might have gone on to participate in some lackluster movies including the embarrassing Norbit, he's still mentioned with some of the greatest comedy acts of all-time.
And from the looks of things, he might have a long, lost ancestor that might have had a joke or two up his sleeve as well. The pork pie top hat, tiny bow tie, and pinstripe suit let us know this guy was the life of the party wherever he went and Eddie might have picked up those genes and maximized them to their full potential.
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.
