Pennsylvania has the second-most amount of NFL Hall of Fame talent only behind Texas. Names like Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, Mike Ditka, Dan Marino, and more all were born with the borders of the state of Pennsylvania, but there's only one Joe Montana. While Tom Brady might have two more diamond rings than Joe Montana, Montana was still Brady's childhood hero. Hailing from Ne Eagle, Pennsylvania, Joe Montana played his collegiate ball at the University of Notre Dame for four seasons, one of which (1976) he was sidelined an entire season.
Montana went on to be drafted 82nd overall in the third round of the 1979 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers where he become a 4-0 and undefeated Super Bowl champion and 8x Pro Bowl selectee. Montana is also the first player to become a 3x Super Bowl MVP (Super Bowls XVI, XIX, and XXIV) and currently holds the Super Bowl record for most passes without an interception (122 in four games). Joe Cool would go on to close out his Hall of Fame NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs in 1994. Joe 'The Comeback Kid' Montana is still arguable the greatest quarterback of all-time.
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.
