"I knew there would be a negative reaction in the press to my divorce, but I am not going to live my life because of something someone might say." - Christina Aguilera on her divorce from Jordan Bratman.
Christina Aguilera has been part of the public eye ever since she was very young. Just like Britney Spears, many Americans grew up with her. That makes audiences very protective of those types of stars. These two were together for five years, at least in marriage. They had dated for four years before that. In that time they had a son together named Max. Jason Bratman isn't a famou star or anything, which goes to show you that marriage doesn't always fail just because two of the people are famous. One famous person is enough to ruin a marriage.
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.
