In a way, it came as no surprise to anyone that allegations of sexual misconduct would eventually see the light of day. And that they did, in 1993, when Evan Chandler accused Jackson of molesting his 13-year-old child, Jordan. You couldn't come up with a more sordid tale, and one so full of twists and turns. Over the seven months of criminal investigations and lawyer negotiations, every possible piece of dirty laundry came to light.
Jackson was subjected to a humiliating half-hour strip search, to see if Jordan's reports on his genitalia were accurate - if he had indeed seen them. Both Jordan's and Evan's stories were changed multiple times, and Jackson cancelled the third leg of his world tour and retreated into a world of drugs to cope with intense scrutiny and hurtful allegations.
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.
