Angela Lansbury is an oft-slept on feminist icon. Her role as Jessica Fletcher in 'Murder She Wrote' showed us a female character who was smart, strong, and not afraid to get her hands dirty. In fact, to me, Angela Lansbury doesn't exist. There is only Jessica Fletcher. I think a lot of fans of the show might feel the same way, ignoring her long list of former credits going all the way back to 1944.
If you go back to Jessica Fletcher's- I mean, Angela Lansbury's first ever role, you'll land on 'Gaslight,' a classic film that popularized the term "gaslighting." She plays the role of Nancy, and even at several decades younger than her role on 'Murder She Wrote,' her face is immediately recognizable. Over 60 years later and she's still acting strong, playing a role in the upcoming Mary Poppins movie.
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.
