It's fair to say that Janet Jackson had an advantage that most people didn't when it comes to breaking into show business; she was a Jackson. She could easily have taken the same route as all her brothers; joining the family group and branching out from there, but Janet has always preferred to do things her own way. She did make a couple of appearances on the Jacksons' TV show in 1976, but was offered a part in 'Good Times' and decided to take that route instead.
For a while it looked like she'd pursue acting instead of singing, as she picked up parts in 'Diff'rent Strokes' and 'Fame,' but the family business was always bound to grab her in the end. Her first attempt didn't really work, with her debut album coming out when she was sixteen and barely troubling the charts at all. She could have gone back to acting. Instead, she fired her own father and took control of her own image and future. The result was 1986's 'Control,' which went platinum five 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.
