In an environment where everybody's looking for their first true romantic experience, imagine being a boy and trying to compete with Brad Pitt. It must have been a living nightmare. Pitt studied journalism with a focus on advertising at the University of Missouri, so somewhere in a parallel universe, there's a very handsome man working in marketing. In our reality, he changed course at the very last second.
Pitt was only two weeks away from earning his degree when he dropped out of university and headed to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. By that point, he'd probably realized that his combination and looks and personality stood him in very good stead. His logic for going to Los Angeles was simple, but sound. In his own words, "Nobody made films In Missouri". You can't fault that!
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.
