Two things about Bruce Campbell come to mind when one sees this headshot from early in his career: First, who did the masterful effects with the background lighting? Second, can you recall a single project Campbell has been in outside of "The Evil Dead" and "Army of Darkness"? Just the look in his eyes alone screams "This is my boom-stick!" (If you haven't watched Army of Darkness, you are missing out on a classic!)
Campbell's acting career began early on when, as a teenager, he began making short films on Super-8 with childhood friend and now-famous producer and filmmaker Sam Raimi after they met while attending Groves High School in Beverly Hills (Michigan, not California). Fun Fact about Bruce Campbell: He happens to be an ordained minister and has actually performed wedding ceremonies as an officiant!
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.
