Madonna basically never stopped. She's been releasing music constantly for the past thirty years, at a rate of at least one every three years. During that time, she's changed her style frequently, sometimes staying with the times and sometimes defining them. 1992's 'Erotica' was scandalously sexual for its time, and 1996's 'Ray of Light' is credited with doing much to popularize techno-pop.
The one area in which she never progressed, no matter how hard she tried, was cinema. She even had Guy Ritchie write and direct 'Swept Away' for her in 2002 during her marriage to him, but couldn't find the acclaim from critics that she wanted. As many people know she's also adopted several children from third world countries, starting a trend which Angelina Jolie quickly followed. At the age of 60, Madonna is currently working on her 14th album, which will apparently contain 'Portuguese fado music.'
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.
