Adam Sandler is a highly polarizing comedian and actor. People hate him for the same reason his fans love him; his style of comedy. His admirers find him hilarious, but his detractors find him sophomoric and dated, with some even calling his humor sexist and racist in places. Sandler has also developed a reputation for releasing truly abysmal movies; 'Jack and Jill' was a particular lowlight among a career full of them. Only Sylvester Stallone has racked up more nominations and 'wins' at the Golden Raspberry Awards.
For all the abuse he's taken for his perceived shortcomings, Sandler has worn it with good grace, even appearing on Jimmy Kimmel's show to read out mean Tweets that people have sent about him. It's also difficult to dislike a guy who donated $1m of his own money to support the Boys & Girls Club of America. Plus, even if you hate the rest of his films, you have to admit that 'Happy Gilmore' was pretty good!
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.
