It seems like there isn't anything Joe Haden can't do. During his high school athletic career, Haden led the Maryland-based, Friendly High School to a state championship with a 14-0 record playing both quarterback and safety. Haden set a state record with 7,371 passing yards and tied the state record with 80 touchdown passes. He also led his high school to two state championships as the team's starting poit guard. With all of this undeniable talent, Haden attended the University of Florida where he switched positions to cornerback and helped the team win the BCS National Championship against the Oklahoma Sooners as a sophomore in 2008.
The 2009 unanimous All-American was drafted 7th overall in the 2010 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. Out the gate, the Browns offered the rookie a five-year $50 million contract with $26 million guaranteed. The contract was later renegotiated to $40 million with $14 million guaranteed. However, it didn't matter much, because Haden signed a $67 million five-year extension with the team in 2014. Unfortunately, that contract was terminated and the 2x Prowl Bowl cornerback took his talents to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017 where he racked up a $27 million bill for his services. This year, he signed a $22 million two-year extension with the team but has accumulated $107.5 million in total revenue this far.
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.
