Finally, we have a member of The Partridge Family that went on to be a successful actor. Susan Dey portrayed the character of Laurie Partridge for the entire series, between 1970 and 1974 (she was 17 years old when she started on the show). She was also known as a great beauty back in her heyday. All you have to do is just look at the pictures to see we're not exaggerating.
After The Partridge Family, Dey had a variety of television roles, but none that were very long term. That is, until she landed the role of Grace Van Owen on L.A. Law. She starred in the show from 1986 to 1992 and enjoyed much critical acclaim for her work. In 1988, she won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Grace Van Owen.
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.
