This is not a story that has a happy ending. Tragically, Thuy Trang's happy life in the States was cut short when she was only 27, in a car crash in San Francisco. Like Austin St. John and Walter Jones, the Red Ranger and Black Ranger, she had also left the show in the middle of the second season due to a pay dispute. But even though her time was brief, both in life and on the show, she touched the hearts of millions.
Like her character in Power Rangers, Thuy Trang was both polite and soft spoken, as well as being a fierce martial arts fighter. In real life, Trang had studied kung fu from the age of nine, and she put these skills to good use in the show. Trini Kwan was also a kung fu master, proficient in the art of Praying Mantis Kung Fu, and would often put down the enemies with lightning-fast moves and high kicks.
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.
