Rosie O'Donnell has been a fixture on our screens since the '80s and we wouldn't have it any other way. Comedian, actress, talk show host, and author, she is clearly a woman of many, many talents. Whether you know her from The Rosie O'Donnell Show, films such as Now and Then, Tarzan, or Sleepless in Seattle, or any of her other major television work, such as The View, you likely recognize and love her big personality.
O'Donnell has spoken publicly about the sexual abuse she and her siblings suffered as children. She has also acknowledged ongoing mental health problems as a result, including dissociation, which causes you to dissociate yourself from your body. Sadly, O'Donnell's past as a survivor may be what has now triggered an estrangement with her own daughter. Sometimes the cycle just doesn't stop.
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.
