In what we believe to be a unique entry in our list, Katie Holmes gains inclusion for turning down a part she'd already played. When Christopher Nolan successfully resurrected the 'Batman' franchise with 'Batman Begins,' Katie Holmes played Bruce Wayne's love interest Rachel Dawes, and she played it well. In the second and third installments - 'The Dark Knight' and 'The Dark Knight Rises' - Holmes is gone, and Maggie Gyllenhaal is Rachel. Gyllenhaal was excellent, but we couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Holmes.
Because the internet is what it is, rumors circulated that Holmes had been cut from the film because Nolan wanted a better actor, but Nolan himself has said this is a lie. He wanted Holmes back - he just couldn't persuade her to return. The second and third films both doubled the box office revenue of 'Batman Begins.' Holmes, who made 'Mad Money' instead, backed the wrong horse.
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.
