The Macaulay Culkin of this year is definitely a new and improved Macaulay. He's changed so much from the days that he was knocking on death's door with a drug addiction, and he looks like he's kicked any habit for good. It's hard to believe he's 37, in fact, with such a youthful face and sunny outlook. No matter what life has dealt him, he's kicking right back.
Not only that, but it looks like the star is ready to try and enter Hollywood through the front entrance again. Seth Green - the actor and genius behind Robot Chicken - is making a film called Changeland, and he's got Macaulay Culkin on board in a starring role. This might be the year that Culkin's star shines once again, and he returns to the mainstream.
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.
