For the majority of her time starring in 'The Secret Life of The American Teenager,' Shailene Woodley was happy with her job. It was only when the series started to head towards a close that she felt the writing went awry, and that her character began to act in a way which wasn't consistent with everything that had gone before.
Woodley was attached to the part of Amy Juergens, and cared for both the character and the decisions the character made. By the final season, she felt like questionable morals were on display, and that the message being sent out to the audience wasn't a good one. On occasion, she says she even found it hard to bring herself to go to the set and film, because she didn't agree with anything that Juergens was doing in the script.
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.
