He might be a native of Florida these days, but Channing Tatum has never hidden his Alabama roots. In fact, when you see him pictured in the press, he's often wearing University of Alabama sports gear. You can take the boy out of Alabama, but you can never take the Alabama out of the boy. He's come a long way since he broke out in the 2006 movie 'Step Up,' and today he's one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood.
He started off his career in eye-candy roles, but has toughened up his image as the years have passed. The 'G.I. Joe' movies did a lot to help with that, even though critics weren't overly fond of them. To a certain demographic of movie-goers, though, he'll always be most closely associated with 'Magic Mike.' They're the kind of viewers who probably wouldn't recognize him with his clothes on.
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.
