The Avengers just went up against their toughest foe yet in Thanos, but if you thought Thanos was tough, you'll be surprised to find that he's nowhere near the top of the list when it comes to powerful villains. The Marvel universe is filled with mutants and super-humans, sure, but it's also home to Gods.
A lot of these characters have decades of history to draw from, so I'll be doing my best to break down their main story in the clearest terms possible. I'm not insulting your intelligence here, but there's a reason you're reading this and not a scientific journal. OK, so maybe I am insulting your intelligence.
If one of these characters interests you I encourage you to further research because I am going to be 50% jokes and 50% facts. You have been warned. I don't have a Bachelor's degree in Marvel, after all (I have four more years at Brown), but I do know my Marvel characters. Check it out - #1 is a total beast, and the most powerful hands down.
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.
