One thing we can say about Ice-T is that he has led a very interesting life. Not only is he a successful rapper and song writer, he's also a well-respected actor. But there's another career he has left firmly in the past: his military one. Ice-T, then known by his birth name, Tracy Marrow, joined the United States Army in 1977, shortly after his daughter was born. He served for just over two years in the 25th Infantry Division.
Unlike most of the other military people on this list, Ice-T's Army career wasn't exactly perfect. He was involved in the theft of a rug with a group of fellow soldiers and was also absent without leave while awaiting the trial. He eventually discovered that he could receive an honorable discharge because he was a single father, so he went for it.
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.
