Abigail Pierrepont Johnson doesn't just have a lot of money ($20bn to be precise), she knows everything there is to know about it too. She is the only woman in history to have served on the board of the Financial Services Forum and has also sat on the Committee on Capital Markets Regulation and the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.
She's got plenty of financial success on her resume, which explains why organizations such as those are so keen to have her on board. Johnson is currently both the CEO of Fidelity Investments and the chairperson of Fidelity International. That's a lot of money being invested in and around her, much of which she bears ultimate responsibility for. She's also in charge of more than forty-five thousand employees, all over the world. With great power comes great responsibility - and enormous wealth.
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.
