With a few exceptions, like Willie Nelson, the majority of the people on our list became famous within the past thirty years, and came crashing down as quickly as they'd risen up. Suzanne Somers wrote the book on doing that over a decade earlier, achieving fame by appearing in the much-loved sitcom 'Three's Company.' The bombshell blonde was wildly popular with the audience - but she let the instant hit of fame go to her head.
Somers time on the show lasted for almost exactly one year. Believing she was its biggest star, she demanded more money from the producers. They refused to budge, and so she quit. At that point, they sued her for breach of contract, and she hadn't yet brought in enough money to cover the legal bills she accrued trying to defend herself. Her reputation - and star value - never recovered.
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.
