This is one former child actor that we'd definitely recognize in the street! We still remember him as the adorable Tommy Solomon in the television series, 3rd Rock from the Sun. As a child, he also appeared in the films, A River Runs Through It and Angels in the Outfield. When the time came, he stopped acting in order to pursue his education at Columbia University, however, he soon realized his true passion and dropped out to pick up acting again.
We're so glad he did, because his career has only continued to flourish as an adult. We loved him in 10 Things I Hate About You, as well as The Dark Knight Rises, (500) Days of Summer, Inception, and Snowden. He brings every character he plays to life, which is why the movies he stars in always do so well at the box office.
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.
