William "Bubba" Paris was an offensive lineman for the San Francisco 49ers from 1983 to 1990. He went on to play for the colts and the Lions later, but as a 49ers fan, I don't care about that. What I love most about this player is that his nickname is Bubba. That's the perfect name for a football player. "That's Bubba. He hits hard." Then Bubba looks over at you and grunts. That's how I imagine most Bubbas. The real "Bubba" Paris is much more eloquent than that.
His daughter, Courtney Paris, is a WNBA player for the Seattle Storm, though her best playing came when she played for the University of Oklahoma where she was a absolute beast in rebounds and points per game. That's not to say that she didn't do well in the WNBA. She's been in the final four.
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.
