British Olympic diver turned TV star Tom Daley had had to put up with speculation about his sexuality long before it was appropriate or the press to be asking those kinds of questions - he first found fame in his mid-teens due to his exceptional athletic abilities. In 2013 he met screenwriter Lance Dustin Black and the two began dating; Daley has since said that this was the first time he realized he was bisexual.
Taking the old-school route to announce his engagement, Daley had an advert placed in the Times of London newspaper in his home city in 2015. They married at the beautiful Bovey Castle in Devon, England in May 2017, and have since welcomed the birth of their first child through surrogacy; a son they've named Robert Black-Daley. Daley has stated in interviews that he doesn't consider himself to be gay, and still experiences 'sexual feelings' towards women. We hope he doesn't act on them!
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.
