We're not so much of the opinion that actor Marcia Cross was so much of a 'desperate housewife' as a determined one. Marriage didn't arrive until comparatively late in life for Cross; she wed stockbroker Tom Mahoney in 2006, and no sooner had it happened then she started fertility treatment, so they could have children together. In fact, it's generally believed that they started fertility treatment so fast that they didn't even go on honeymoon!
Whether that's true or not, it worked. Shortly before her 45th birthday in 2007, Cross gave birth to twin daughters, Eden and Savannah. She went from being single to being married with children in a little longer than a year. That's quite the dramatic change in circumstances. We'll take that as evidence that it's never too late in life to have a whirlwind romance!
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.
