"We're going to need a bigger boat!" Richard Dreyfuss might not have been the actor who said that famous line from 'Jaws,' but he'll forever be associated with his role in the famous horror movie. That's just one highlight in a career of them for Dreyfuss, who managed to land leading role after leading role all the way from 1975 until the late 1990s. His movies aren't quite as high profile today as they once were, but he's still working regularly - despite having a reputation for being a little difficult to get along with on occasion.
Without meaning to sound disrespectful to Dreyfuss, who we recognize as a screen icon, he manages to look both older and taller than he really is. He's been around forever, but he's still only just over 70. Also, despite his towering screen personas, he's 5 foot 5. His height didn't turn out to be a barrier to becoming the youngest actor ever to win a Best Actor award at the Oscars, which he did in 1978.
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.
