It's hard to believe Zachary Quinto isn't still in his 20s like this headshot would suggest. In fact, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native was born on June 2, 1977, making him over 40 years old! While he appeared in many television roles early in his career, it wasn't until he was cast as serial killer Sylar in the NBC drama "Heroes" that he became a familiar face on the small-screen.
Then, at the 2007 Comic-Con in San Diego, it was announced that Quinto would be starring as a young Spock in the J.J. Abrams remake of the "Star Trek" film franchise. Those who have seen Quinto's work in this and other projects, know that he's very deserving of the praise he receives for his acting skills. In fact, none other than the original Spock, Leonard Nimoy, had the final say in who would portray his iconic character in the new reboot of the 1960s television hit.
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.
