Do you guys remember the band Faith No More? Mike Patton was the lead singer, as well as an actor, producer, and songwriter. He is often praised for his vocal range and distinctive voice, which most people love remembering from the Faith No More days. Patton first met Faith No More in 1986 and aspired to be part of the group. We totally understand - who wouldn't want to be a rock star?
Born in Eureka, California, Patton had a very difficult childhood. As we've mentioned before, it seems to be a bit of a pattern when it comes to hardcore rockers! Patton has been quite open with the public about his story, which involves neglect as a child, as well as childhood sexual abuse. Most people simply want to raise awareness and give more confidence to those in need.
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.
