Right now is a very exciting time for film and television. Films by people of color are becoming more and more prevalent, and the reaction from audiences is incredibly positive. Unfortunately, this 2005 film may have set the black film community back by a deace, and that's why 'Black Panther' didn't come out until 2018. I'm only joking of course, but this movie definitely didn't make a positive impact. That's for sure.
It stars some incredible actors, like Billy Dee Williams, Zoe Saldana, and Gabrielle Union, but it's just a confusing and bizarre mess of a story. Not EVERYONE hated this movie, like the New York Times who had a good review of it, but what do they know? Rotten Tomatoes, a truly trusted news source, has it at 0%. I definitely trust Rotten Tomatoes more than the New York Times.
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.
