Gretchen Mol, like many actors and actresses, was spotted by a talent scout while she was working a mundane job. In this case, as a hat check girl in a New York restaurant. This started her down the path of first, modelling, then later acting. While she has appeared in over 30 feature films, her major roles have been somewhat sporadic.
In more recent years, Mol has had a recurring role on HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" series as Gillian Darmody. Despite the ups and downs of her career, Mol has learned to stay positive. When asked in an interview how she maintains her confidence, she's been quoted as saying: "It is an ongoing struggle....sometimes you have (it) and sometimes you don't. And the older you get, hopefully, the more you have some tools to at least fake 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.
