There's still some controversy about this one. What we can say for certain - because both sides have confirmed it - is that Luke Grimes walked away from 'True Blood' at around the same time that he found out his character was due to have a same-sex relationship with another character played by Nelsan Ellis. What the parties disagree on is why that happened.
Grimes says that it was all down to a schedule conflict, and that a movie part he'd accepted meant he could no longer commit to 'True Blood.' Nelsan says that Grimes never said anything about any movie parts until he found out his character was going to be involved in gay scenes, and then the 'movie role' appeared out of nowhere. Nelsan was less than impressed by Grimes' attitude, and says that he can't understand why anyone would give up a job that paid big money just because they couldn't stomach a few gay kisses.
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.
