Here's an interesting story; this isn't an 'official' redesign of the original 'Iron Fist' character Danny Rand at all. It's a rethinking of the character drawn by a fan, although that fan just happens to be Paulina Ganucheau, the artist behind 'Zodiac Starforce.' Not only that, it was drawn as a response to an argument about ethnicity rather than gender.
When Netflix decided to make an 'Iron Fist' series, some people hoped that an Asian actor would be cast in the lead role. This is because the 'classic' Danny Rand character is an old stereotype - a white man who happens to be great at Chinese martial arts. Netflix stayed true to the comics and cast a white actor, so Kris Anka drew an Asian rendering of the character in protest. Ganucheau took things a step further and gave us a female 'Iron Fist,' and her Dani Rand is so good that we think she deserves a life of her own.
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.
