Ryan Murphy, creator of the hit TV show 'Glee', had already been in a relationship with photographer David Miller for years when New York opened the doors to same-sex marriage. The couple got engaged that year but waited a little later to get married, tying the knot in a ceremony in July 2012. They welcomed their first son Logan in 2012, and a second son named Ford in 2014, both via surrogates.
Murphy has been known and respected for years for his work in raising AIDS awareness, donating both time and money to the cause and winning a number of awards for his tireless efforts on the subject. He's managed to reconcile his sexuality with the fact that he was raised Catholic and continues to be a practicing Catholic, still attending church on occasion.
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.
