The Shue family in general are an interesting topic when it comes to entertainment. Both Andrew Shue and his sister Elisabeth were child actors, and both of them appeared in 80s cult hit 'The Karate Kid.' When they got a bit older, both of them completely walked away from the acting profession, too. We're sure their parents were really thrilled after all the money we presume they spent putting them both through acting school!
Shue had a number of roles as a child actor before starring in 'Melrose Place' as a young adult, where he made many a teenage girl swoon. He never felt comfortable with the work though, and instead went into professional sports for a while, playing soccer during the 1990s in Zimbabwe and then returning to the USA to play for Los Angeles Galaxy. An injury put an end to that, so he went into business and set up a website called 'CafeMom,' which contains forums which dispense parenting advice and other women's interest issues.
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.
