We've already seen a picture of ex-Beatle John Lennon on our list, and now here's what we believe to be the last-ever picture taken of his former bandmate George Harrison. Harrison may not have had quite as high a profile as Lennon or Paul McCartney, but he was still a very accomplished musician in his own right. He was the writer of many of the Beatles best-known songs, and enjoyed plenty of success in his own right after the band broke up.
Harrison's services as a musician were in constant demand right up until the time of his death. He appeared as a guest musician on an album by his friend Jools Holland in 2001, and had his picture taken for a booklet which came with physical copies of the album. In November of that year he passed away, having been quietly suffering from lung cancer for some time. He was 58 years old.
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.
