When Hilary Swank turned up on this list, it was inevitable that Julianne Moore would soon follow. The lookalike actresses have a running joke about sharing jobs and having similar careers, so of course Moore has played a gay character on screen as well! In fact, she's done it several times over, but the pick of all of her gay and bisexual roles is probably Jules in 2010's 'The Kids Are All Right,' which saw her nominated for a Golden Globe.
The movie is a comedy-drama but is especially notable for being the first mainstream movie that depicted a same-sex couple raising children. We've come a long way in the past decade! Moore's character in the film is a bored housewife who starts an affair with a male gardener, which is a nice twist on the old stereotype. Various publications, including The Independent newspaper in the UK, named it as the best film of 2010.
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.
