If Jennifer Garner had it her own way, we'd never have found out that she didn't think much of 'Elektra,' and didn't enjoy playing her. As a model professional, she never publicly said anything about it. Her ex-boyfriend Michael Vartan, however, had other ideas. Apparently feeling it was his place to dish the dirt on his ex-partner, he once told an interviewer that he'd never even watched the film, and didn't have any urge to do so because of what Garner told him about it.
According to Vartan's account, Garner regularly called him from the set and told him that the film was 'awful,' and that she hated making it. Garner never auditioned for the part or went looking for it; apparently, she was contractually obligated to do it under the terms of her contract for 'Daredevil.'
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.
