One of the names that's been assigned to this ten-year-old boy is a place. The other is one of the most famous Disney characters of all time. David and Victoria Beckham may have started the trend of naming a child after where it was conceived when they welcomed Brooklyn Beckham into the world - we wonder if Bronx Mowgli Wentz was named for the same reason?
Bronx, who may or may not actually go by 'Mowgli' depending on who you believe, is the son of 'Fall Out Boy' rocker Pete Wentz and pop star Ashlee Simpson. We're not convinced that naming your child after a boy who grew up feral and had to be raised by animals is the best statement of intent about your parenting abilities. In their defense, they were very young when they had him, and may still have been watching 'Jungle Book' themselves.
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.
