Bradley Cooper is one of the most popular pin-up stars, with posters and pictures adorning the bedroom walls of many teenage girls, so it will be a relief to them to find out that he isn't gay in real life! He's actually dated Zoe Saldana and Renee Zellweger, but that didn't prevent him from capturing our hearts with his portrayal of the gay character Holden in 2010's 'Valentine's Day.'
The film wasn't an unqualified success; the huge ensemble cast felt like quantity over quality, and critics weren't impressed by it. Despite that, it performed well at the box office and was received warmly by the paying public. Holden and his partner Sean are the only gay characters in the film, which given the size of the cast felt like under-representation in 2010. The critical failure meant that Cooper's search for his first Oscar continues.
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.
