This photo shows legendary folk singer, Bob Dylan, next to a painting by Andy Warhol, the pop artist. Bob Dylan was an art lover, but not in the way you might think. He allegedly purchased this Andy Warhol piece and would throw darts at it. I shudder to think about how much this piece of work must have cost. That was Dylan's style when it came to art. Another story claims he traded one of Warhol's pieces of art for a couch. That's the most rock and roll thing I've ever heard.
Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol both have achieved legendary status for their contributions in their field. You'll be hard pressed to find a musician who doesn't have a huge amount of respect for Dylan. He's performed with other rock legends like George Harrison, The Grateful Dead, and Tom Petty.
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.
