Born on October 8, 1993, Angus Turner Jones, better known as Angus T. Jones, is famous for one role in particular. For ten years he played Jake Harper in the comedy television series, Two and a Half Men, starring alongside Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen. Jake Harper was one of the main characters and the "half" man the title references (as he was a child on the show).
Though he isn't really known for other acting projects, his run on Two and a Half Men is nothing to scoff at. In 2010, Jones became the highest paid child actor on TV, earning about $300,000 per episode of the show. Somewhere along the line, Jones became religious and decided the show conflicted with his newfound views. He even publicly called the show 'filth' and described himself as a hypocrite for working on it.
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.
