There are a number of emotionally affecting scenes during 'Saving Private Ryan', and the film effects different people in different ways, but most people would agree that the scene in which Rieben reads out the names of fallen soldiers from their dog tags is one of the most devastating. It brings home the toll of the human loss during the conflict.
Edward Burns, playing Rieben, wanted to do the scene justice, and truly convey how much serving soldiers would be hurt by the loss of their friends and colleagues. With that in mind, he ignored the fictional names on the dog tags and instead used the names of his real-life friends and loved ones. He felt it would help him to both understand and express the heartbreak of losing somebody that he cared about, and finding out in such a manner.
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.
