Yes, you read that correctly. Lois Lane herself was found in a really weird place, and we're not talking about Superman's Love Den Of Solitude. Which has a few too many kryptonite handcuffs for our liking, by the way. Anyway, this was the Canadian actress Margot Kidder, who had played Lois Lane in a bunch of the old Superman movies.
In 1996, Kidder was 47 years old and battling both health and financial problems. One day, someone in Glendale found her in their backyard, missing some teeth, dressed in filthy clothes, and mumbling incoherently. Police later discovered that she had been missing for three whole days before she appeared. There's an upside to the story: after being committed to a mental health institution, she made a full recovery. To this very day no one knows the specific details of this incident, however many claim it happened during a rape attempt.
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.
