Hagrid may once have informed Harry Potter that he was a wizard, but you wouldn't have found him complimenting him on his height. Because of his 'Harry Potter' fame, many of us still imagine Radcliffe has a child, when in fact he's now very much an adult man. That doesn't necessarily mean he's grown much larger though - he isn't much taller now than he was when the last of the 'Harry Potter' movies was released, and we think he's probably finished growing by now!
If you look at this picture, you'll notice that his glamorous co-star Emma Watson is towering over him. That's not just because she's wearing heels - Radcliffe is a mere 5 feet and 5 inches tall. He was once mocked about his height in an interview with Playboy magazine, to which he responded that he's still tall enough to enter the US marines if he wanted to, and so his height doesn't bother him. Good answer!
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.
