We wish we had half the confidence in our teenage years as Ben Affleck clearly did here. He's almost sneering down the camera lens at us. This is a kid who's going places, and he knows it. Both his mother and his father were involved in the acting profession, and so Affleck was writing plays for himself and his friends when he was as young as seven years old. When he met Matt Damon a few years later, a dream team was born, and Hollywood has no choice but to surrender to them.
When we talked about Robert Pattinson, we mentioned that Affleck has had a stint as Batman on the big screen (although he didn't get the same level of acclaim for the role as Christian Bale did). His career survived the indignity of having his relationship with Jennifer Lopez referred to as 'Bennifer' in the press, and he continues to take on more serious roles as he gets older.
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.
