Bradley Cooper, are you absolutely sure you have enough gel in your hair there? We think we can see a single strand out of place somewhere toward the back! Cooper's nervous smile almost makes him hard to identify here - he had something of a difficult childhood after his mother insisted on making him wear his hair long when he was young, which led to many people mistaking him for a girl. He never thought of himself as being handsome. He was wrong.
We're fairly positive nobody mistakes Cooper for a girl now - he's one of Hollywood's most handsome leading men. His biggest recent success was as the writer, director, producer, and star of the movie 'A Star Is Born' with Lady Gaga, which didn't pick up quite as many Oscars as it probably deserved to. He also didn't win an Oscar for 'American Hustle,' despite being nominated. He'll get there one day!
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.
