Best known for her role as Claudia Salinger in hit '90s television series, Party of Five, Lacey Chabert has one of those voices that is instantly recognizable. High-pitched and very girly, despite being a fully-grown adult, it's no wonder she has been able to use her voice to portray young girls in various cartoons throughout her career. One of her most notable pieces of work was as Eliza Thornberry of The Wild Thornberrys.
She was also the voice of Meg Griffin on Family Guy for season one, before Mila Kunis took over the role in season two. Chabert has appeared onscreen several times, too. She played Penny in Lost in Space, and she played the inimitable Gretchen Weiners in Mean Girls. Who could forget her amazing performance as one of the most popular girls in school?
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.
