Ellen Page deserves a lot of credit. She came out as lesbian in an industry that isn't always kind to people coming out. Hollywood has this idea in its head that if men know that Ellen Page is a lesbian then she'll no longer be a sex symbol. Can I just go on record to debunk that right now? Lesbian, straight, bi. It doesn't matter. In a bikini, we're all sex symbols. Except Borat.
Even if it cost her a few roles, her outspokenness has surely helped a lot of people who also want to come out. I wasn't surprised by her coming out though. Just look at the character of Juno. That character may have gotten pregnant by a man, but give it a few years and I bet she raises that kid with a woman. Is that offensive? Maybe. Sound off in the comments.
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.
