Gone with the Wind is one of the great love stories of our time. The main problem with the book is that it's just so darn big. You'd need a really long vacation to get through it all. Or just a year of gradual reading. Ain't nobody got time for that, so definitely watch the movie instead. Released in 1939, the film is set in Southern USA during the American Civil War.
Our main characters are Scarlett O'Hara (played by Vivien Leigh) and Rhett Butler (played by Clark Gable), but this is one long saga, so there are plenty of other people in the mix, too. To be totally honest with you, there's no way we can summarize everything that happens in just a few sentences, so we're just going to leave you with a recommendation instead: watch it!
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.
