'The Partridge Family' is a show that's difficult to explain to anyone who wasn't there to see it during the 1970s. Try explaining the plot or the concept to anyone now, and they'll struggle to understand what made it so special, but during the four years it aired from 1970 to 1974, everybody watched it. When they did, they fell in love with the young Susan Dey, who had the bluest eyes the world had ever seen.
The show made a star out of Dey, who was being cast in movies within two years of appearing on the show. Her first credit was in 1972's 'The Candidate,' which was a minor role. She had a much bigger part in 'Skyjacked' the same year, and by that point, she was a breakout star before she'd even turned 20.
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.
