The Highlander series is often quotes in popular culture. That's because there can be only one Highlander, leading to the quote "There can be only one." Look out for that line in popular culture. If you didn't understand it before, now you will. That won't make 'Highlander 2: The Quickening' any better of a movie though. It stars Christopher Lambert, as well as James Bond himself, Sean Connery.
Not that the first one was ever set out to win film awards, this movie is so bad that people have desperately tried to recut it so that it can be made somewhat salvageable. The worst part about it is that this movie undoes a lot of things that people liked from the first movie. It's like if the newest Star Wars started out by saying, "everything that happened with Luke Skywalker was just a dream."
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.
