'Chaos Walking' could be the birth of a whole new franchise if things go well. It's an adaptation of the Patrick Ness novel 'The Knife Of Never Letting Go', which is the first book in a trilogy. Expect all three to make their way to the big screen eventually.
The science fiction thriller, released on March 1st, features Daisy Ridley of 'Star Wars' fame in a leading role, supported by Tom Holland and Mads Mikkelsen. It's a strange plot, featuring a future Earth colony where all the women are believed to have been killed by a mutated virus, and telepathy is commonplace. Holland's character discovers a patch of complete silence inhabited by a very strange woman - who shouldn't exist - and the strangeness progresses from there. Ridley is a big fan of the original books and was understandably delighted to be cast in the film!
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.
