This Academy Award winning actor has achieved so much over his decades-long career. It feels like Robert Duvall has been around forever. He has starred in To Kill a Mockingbird, The Twilight Zone, The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, Apocalypse Now, and so much more. But a lot of people don't realize that Duvall also squeezed in a military career back in his younger years.
Duvall served in the United States Army from 1953 to 1954 and stayed for almost exactly a year. The Korean War had just come to an end and by the end of his service he held the rank of private first class. Duvall explored his love for acting before he left the military and he knew it was what he wanted to do when he got out of there.
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.
