Add 'X-Men' to the list of successful franchises with a movie coming out in 2019; this twelfth installment in the series reaches us on June 7th. 'Game of Thrones' actress Sophie Turner is in the lead role, which is a first for her on movie level, so she'll be hoping it's a great success!
Where this movie actually sits in the X-Men canon is a little unclear. It's actually a re-telling of the same story we've already seen in 2003's 'X2' but is also intended as a direct sequel to 2016's 'Apocalypse'. Apparently, the intention of writer and director Simon Kinburg is to give the Phoenix story the stage it deserves, having been disappointed with the last attempt, which eventually resulted in 2006's 'The Last Stand' being invalidated by 2014's 'Days of Future Past' and effectively erased from the 'X-Men' time-line. Will this be the film that repairs the franchise's shattered continuity?
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.
