There's nothing particularly outlandish about the name 'Julianne Moore', and it seems like the kind of name you might encounter from anybody you meet in the street. Therefore, it's quite surprising when you find out it's a pseudonym, but it is. This Oscar winner and Hollywood mainstay is actually Julie Anne Smith. As we said at the start of the article, there's never been a famous John Smith, so it's probably fair to say there would never be a famous Julie Smith either.
The reason for the change wasn't because she found the name dull, though. There were already actresses working under the names Julie Smith and Julie Anne Smith when Moore started her career, so she took her father's middle name in place of Smith, pushed her first two names together, and became someone new.
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.
