So here's the elephant in the room. What exactly was his relationship with Michael Jackson? How healthy was their friendship, when Macaulay was just a boy? And do any of those criminal allegations that Jackson faced in his later years at all related to Macaulay? What we do know is that Macaulay often went to MJ's ranch for "sleepovers". But the rest? Macaulay denies everything, but is he telling the truth?
"He was very childlike. He liked doing the things we [kids] did," Culkin recalls about their relationship. Although the singer would have many young boys at his Neverland ranch, including Macaulay's brother Kieran, Macaulay said that it was all innocent games. "He played with us," Culkin said, adding that the singer's relationship, and wisdom on dealing with celebrity life, was "comforting."
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.
