Kids of the 80s will recognize Shaun Weiss as Elvis from the children's television show, Pee-wee's Playhouse. However, his best-known role is indisputably Greg Goldberg in The Mighty Ducks films. Weiss enjoyed other minor successes as a child actor, including his role as Josh in the Disney film, Heavyweights. He also appeared in NBC drama/comedy Freaks and Geeks, as well as a few episodes of The King of Queens.
In terms of his acting career now, things aren't so great. He has appeared in commercials for Captain Morgan, Castrol, ESPN, and Verizon, but they're obviously not paying all of his bills. Most suspect he is living off his earnings from his child acting career. His last appearance was in 2008 as a bus driver in the film, Drillbit Taylor. He has totally disappeared off the acting scene since then.
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.
