Denis O'Hare may be one of the most understated actors on television and in film. You'll have seen him in many things but might not recognize his name. To jog your memory, he's been one of the mainstays of the 'American Horror Story' TV franchise, as well as a leading role in 'True Blood' and the movies 'Milk' and 'Dallas Buyer's Club'. 'Milk' in particular is recognized as being a film of vital importance to the LGBT community, managing to strike the right balance between entertainment and social commentary about life for gay people in San Francisco during the time of the film's setting.
O'Hare has been happily married to his husband, interior designer Hugo Redwood, since 2011. The couple married and are resident in New York, where you'll likely see examples of Redwood's work if you're ever lucky enough to be invited to a party at one of the city's fancier apartments. Together they have one son Declan, who they adopted as a baby.
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.
