Hands up if you remember the explicit tunes of Limp Bizkit from the 90s and early 00s. Lead singer and ex-tattoo artist, Fred Durst was famous for his trademark red hat and some pretty descriptive lyrics. Just like Willie Nelson earlier in the list, Durst knew early on in life what his core interests were. From the age of 12 years old he was rapping, skating, and beatboxing, as though he was destined to become the lead singer of Limp Bizkit.
There were a few obstacles in the way before Durst made it to the top of the nu metal scene in the 90s. For one, he joined the United States Navy. However, he only served for two years before leaving to become a tattoo artist. It was in this job that he thought up the idea for a really cool band.
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.
