You've definitely seen this man on screen before, but he looks so different that you have no chance of recognizing him unless you're familiar with his back story. This is Jeff Cohen, but to most of you, he's the one from 'the Goonies' who did the truffle shuffle. Yes, this really is 'Chunk,' in much better shape than he was as a child!
Cohen may have played his role for laughs, but he was a clever child. He paid attention to who was making the real money on Hollywood sets, and realized it was the lawyers. Instead of chasing his acting dream, Cohen took the bar instead and passed it with flying colors. He still works in show business, but now he does it as an entertainment lawyer. He has several major Hollywood stars on his books and offices in Beverly Hills.
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.
