Whenever a male or female soap opera star gets ideas above their station because they have a pretty face and decide to leave your favorite TV show to risk it all in Hollywood, you can probably blame George Clooney for that. Once a humble star of the popular medical drama 'ER', his chiseled good looks won him a legion of admirers all around the globe and have made him rich beyond his wildest dreams.
Clooney's movie work has had a mixed critical reception; he took the title role in what many feel was the worst 'Batman' movie of all time, but the box office success of the 'Oceans' franchise is undeniable, and he was Oscar nominated for his performance in 'Syriana'. He's also shown flair as a director, for which his work has also received awards and acclaim. In more recent years he's shown a great spirit of generosity and spends a lot of his time campaigning for humanitarian causes.
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.
