Hit or Miss: "The Gifted" - FOX

'The Gifted' is one of Marvel's better shows, and that includes any of their Netflix series. It follows the lives of mutants who are being persecuted for their powers. Just like Magento and Professor X, there are two sides. One that wishes for nonviolence, and another that has had enough. It's a classic X-Men/Marvel type of story, but delivered in a fresh way. Season two is guaranteed to be bigger and better than season one.

You should be able to jump into this season without too much trouble. If you're over Marvel shows, I get it. I can't blame you, but there are good ones and they are definitely worth watching. Binge watch season one on Hulu if you want to get caught up, or watch a recap on Youtube. Either way, you'll be happy with season two.

Did You Know...

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.
