Kanye West was once an ignored rapper who was able to curate and produce amazing beats but it wasn't long after that he became the megastar that he is today. In the early 2000s, Kanye was producing smash hits for Roc-a-Fella Records artist, Jay Z and in 2004, released his debut album, The College Dropout, under the same imprint. Many at the record label thought of Kanye as strange and sheltered but he soon proved that there was a method to his madness.
Since then, Ye has gone diamond in record sales worldwide and tours the globe after dropping a project when he chooses to. He's even entered the world of design and has helped adidas become one of the most selling brands in the United States with his YEEZY sneaker collection. After losing his mother in November of 2007, Kanye hasn't been the most stable mentally but hopefully, he finds the right group of people to support and truly care for his well-being.
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.
