For almost all of the 1990s, 'Baywatch' star Pamela Anderson was considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world. She made fortunes from her television work and modeling, and earned further notoriety from her marriage to rock star Tommy Lee and the subsequent release of their steamy honeymoon video. Many stars have 'adult videos' of themselves online these days, but Anderson was the one who started the sordid trend.
Anderson's big mistake was not adjusting her lifestyle when her earnings began to dwindle as she got older. She also 'forgot' to pay her taxes, and ended up having to fork out hundreds of thousands of dollars as a lump sum to keep the IRS off her back. Seriously, would it be too much to ask for famous people to pay their taxes? Like Mike Tyson she's still rich, but not at the elite level she once was.
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.
