We've already reached back through the sands of cinematic time to bring you Charlie Chaplin; now we're doing it again so we can have a closer look at Humphrey Bogart, who was as big a leading male name as you could get in Hollywood during the 1940s. Without Bogart's incredible storytelling ability as an actor, nobody would remember 'Casablanca' or 'The Maltese Falcon.' If you've ever said, "here's looking at you, kid," then you were quoting Bogart even though you probably didn't realize it at the time.
While we've speculated that Tom Cruise may have worn lifts in his shoes occasionally, we know that Bogart definitely did. Hollywood simply couldn't have a man playing romantic roles in big films when their female co-stars towered over them, so Bogart got plenty of assistance to add a few inches to his height. Without those heels on, he was actually only 5 foot 8.
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.
