It's the dream of every smart student in the USA or the UK to attend either an Ivy League school, or England's Oxford or Cambridge University. It takes a real show off to do both, but Ellie Kemper wasn't going to let that put her off. She was an excellent school student, but quite by chance her high school drama teacher was an aspiring actor himself. It was Jon Hamm. Hamm ignited Kemper's interest in comedy and performance, and so she set off in his footsteps.
She majored in English at Princeton, where she also enjoyed her time in the university's improv comedy troupe 'Quipfire'. Not content with that, she then moved to England and studied the same subject at Oxford, working towards a graduate degree. That probably makes her more qualified in English than almost any teacher in the world.
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.
