From one rock and roll legend to another! Chuck Berry may have popularized rock and roll, but Alice Cooper's influence on performance and stadium rock can't be overestimated. The genre he more-or-less invented went on to be called 'shock rock,' but when Cooper started doing it, it didn't even have a name. All his audiences knew was that they'd never seen anything like him before. Loud, outspoken and a little terrifying, Cooper has never been dull for a moment in his life.
Cooper and his band (who are confusingly also called 'Alice Cooper') have been recording and releasing music since the 1960s, and have now published 27 in total. He'll probably never top the success of 'School's Out,' or 'Poison,' but if he ever decided to give music up, he could probably take up professional golf. He hosts an annual tournament, and plays off no handicap.
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.
