We can still recall the excitement when Jurassic Park was released at the cinema in 1993. Everyone went wild for it and it was unquestionably one of the biggest movies of the 90s. You may remember Joseph Mazzello as Tim Murphy, which was probably his biggest film role. Throughout the 90s he also appeared in other films, including Presumed Innocent (with Harrison Ford), Radio Flyer, Shadowlands, The Cure, and Jurassic Park sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
In recent times, he is best known for his role as Eugene "Sledgehammer" Sledge on HBO miniseries, The Pacific. His only other semi-major role was in the film, The Social Network. However, he is set to play John Deacon in the upcoming Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, which is being released at the end of 2018. Mazzello didn't get to megastar levels of fame, but he is still doing okay!
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.
