Jared Leto is a man who seems to polarize audiences. He got a lot of criticism for his own interpretation of the Joker character in 'Suicide Squad' (with his performance being compared unfavorably with Heath Ledger's interpretation of the same role), and his band Thirty Seconds to Mars have been bottled off stage at music festivals, despite a string of hit songs. He did manage to unite the audience of the 2013 movie 'Dallas Buyer's Club' though.
Leto completely transformed himself to play the part of Rayon in the movie and was utterly compelling and convincing as a transvestite dealing with AIDS. Leto, like lead actor Matthew McConaughey, dropped a considerable amount of weight for the part in order to make things realistic. It was that kind of dedication that saw him nominated for an Oscar. In reality, Leto is straight, and was briefly engaged to Hollywood superstar Cameron Diaz.
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.
