Jack Black is an actor with one big presence in Hollywood. When he's on screen, you want to watch him. That's why it's so surprising that I still find movies that I didn't know he was in. With his comic success, especially with his band Tenacious D, it's easy to forget he started as a serious actor.
In some of his older, lesser known roles, you can see Jack Black laying on a thick Southern accent in 'Dead Man Walking,' getting his arm blown off in 'The Jackyl,' playing Matthew Broderick's friend in 'The Cable Guy,' and standing in a few frames of 'Demolition Man.' If you don't mind violence, I suggest checking out his final scene in 'The Jackyl.' It's gruesome, but it really shows him acting very well while still having that signature Jack Black style.
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.
