Matt Damon didn't quite complete his degree whilst at Harvard, but he did do some very important work during his time there. The original treatment for 'Good Will Hunting' was originally written by Damon as a project for his English class. Imagine writing an Oscar winning screenplay while you were still at university. We were still trying to work out which grocery aisle toothpaste was on.
Damon didn't drop out of Harvard for no good reason; he'd been offered the lead role in 'Geronimo: An American Legend'. Harvard obviously bore him no hard feelings because they awarded him the Harvard Arts Medal in 2013. He has a lot to thank his time in education for; he met his best friend and future collaborator Ben Affleck while he was still in high school, and the pair have been almost inseparable ever since.
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.
