Five-year-old North West is one of the most famous of all the celebrity children on this list. That's partly because she was born into a haze of publicity in the semi-recent past, and partly because she's the daughter of one of the best-known and most polarizing celebrity power couples on the face of the planet - Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
West has been one of the most successful and inventive rappers of the past two decades, although his more recent erratic behavior has seen him spend time in rehab. Kardashian, from her rich and wealthy background, is a reality television star who did a lot to further the idea of being famous purely for being famous. Love them or hate them, they make a lot of money. They should probably have done better than naming their child after a basic direction, though.
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.
