Actress Amanda Seyfried is still quite young, so it's not out of the question that she'd still have some of the stuffed animals that she grew up. The stuffed animals we're talking about here aren't the 'teddy bear' kind, though. We're talking full-sized stuffed and mounted exotic creatures that were once alive. Seyfried is apparently a big fan of taxidermy, and has paid big money to have her own indoor safari of death.
In among Seyfried's collection are a zebra, a lion, and a horse, along with many other animals you'd usually find wandering the plains of the Serengeti. They've been posed in a variety of ways, some of which suggest that they're attacking each other. Here she is in this picture, hiding in among them all and seemingly loving it. At this point, we're just going to admit that Seyfried slightly scares us.
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.
