Another watery location for our list, and given the evidence so far, it's not at all surprising. Although this particular potential location might be even more controversial than the others - just up the coast from Los Angeles! Honestly, though, if we were aliens we would just hang out in LA itself. There's so many freaks in Hollywood these days, you wouldn't even stand out.
For those who aren't hip with the lifestyles of the rich and the famous, Malibu is their ultra-rich playground, about 30 miles west of LA. This is where the scenesters have their all-night parties, there are hot tubs and infinity pools as far as the eye can see, and aliens... well, aliens just might have a base right off the coast, in spitting distance of Leo DiCaprio's pad.
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.
