39. Jennifer Lawrence - Mother

The Darren Aronofsky psychological horror movie 'Mother!' is about as high-brow as horror films get. It has an art-house style, and is so unconventional in its approach that none of the characters even have names. They're just known by the roles they play, and in the case of Jennifer Lawrence, that role was 'mother.' Perhaps because she was keen to display her range as a performer, she took the part in the hope that it would show her in a new light. For a while after making the movie, she regretted it.

Although she now says that she's coming to terms with the film, having had more time to think about it, her initial reaction was that she, the director, and the producers had gone 'too far' in the process of putting it together, and that the level of horror was too high. She described herself as 'shaken' after seeing the final cut.

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.
