When it comes to child stars in Hollywood, it seems like it goes one of two ways. They either work hard and build on their previous successes, eventually becoming celebrity adults, or they disappear into obscurity. We all know examples of perfect careers, as well as promising ones that were destroyed.

We've seen it happen way too many times in the past - drugs are a huge problem if you come into a lot of money when you're young. So many child stars got too much fame way too fast and ended up bringing about the end of their very short careers.

If it's fallen stars you're after, we've got some on this list that you won't even recognize now! It can be such a shame to see when you knew how much talent they had as children. #48 went through some tragic experiences, you'll be shocked when you see him now.

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.
