She's come a very long way from the sweet and innocent Hannah Montana! Miley Cyrus took the opportunity to shake off her 'child star' reputation at the earliest opportunity. For much of the early part of the 2010s, she was rarely pictured with all of her clothes on. The self-confessed party girl was also very open about her love of drugs, especially MDMA and ecstasy, which didn't make her popular with parents or conservatives. Things reached fever-pitch for people disliking Miley when she rubbed herself provocatively against Robin Thicke at an awards ceremony, popularizing 'twerking' in the process.
Cyrus' unashamedly open sexuality has won her plenty of admirers in the LGBT scene, and in return, she promotes their causes wherever she goes. She even has an 'equals' sign tattooed on her finger to symbolize her support for equal marriage rights. Ike Taylor Swift, she has a special connection to her fans, and has been known to visit them when they're sick in hospital. Her 'Happy Hippie' foundation supports homeless people in Los Angeles.
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.
