Sylvester Stallone's willingness to hold out and get paid a minimal rate for both writing and starring in the classic boxing film, Rocky, knowing that it was going to be a hit is proof of his own undying confidence in himself and knowing that he would be one of the world's biggest superstars. And to this very day, at the age of 71-years-old, Stallone still has a heavy impact on the film industry starring in movies like The Expendables series, Escape Plan, and the Rocky spinoff series in Creed.
Even though Sylvester Stallone is an international hit in this current era, he definitely wasn't as famous as his doppelganger in Pope Gregory IX and that's obvious with how huge of a following the Catholic Church has and what they're able to get away with... Let's just hope that Pope Gregory IX didn't have the same speech impediment as Sylvester Stallone's lazy mouth.
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.
