Born Marshall Bruce Mathers III on October 17, 1972, the artist known as Eminem has worked tirelessly and passionately to become one of the best-selling artists in the early 2000s in the United States. His debut album, "The Slim Shady LP", is characterized by his extensive use of shocking lyricism and the use of alter egos. Anyone who knows anything in the hip hop community knows the immense amount of talent that Eminem possesses, with one famous rap-artist The Game caught on camera saying of his talent, "He's lyrically insane...y'all don't mess with the white dude."
Despite his reputation, Eminem has still been unable to avoid all controversy over his career. His own mother sued him in 1999 for $10 million claiming damages from his slanderous lyrics on his debut album. (In the end, a judge awarded her only $1,600 in damages after two years of court battles.)
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.
