Unless you've purposefully skipped going to the movies for the last two decades, it's hard not to know who Paul Rudd is. Starring alongside such comedic giants as Will Ferrell in "Anchorman" or Steve Carell in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin", this New Jersey native has a knack for pulling off the "nerdy best friend" role with ease. But supporting roles are becoming a thing of the past for Rudd. More recent gigs such as "I Love You Man" (2009), "This Is 40" (2012), and "Ant-Man" (2015) have thrust him onto the big screen as the leading character.
Paul Rudd doesn't just specialize in portraying big names and blockbuster characters however. He also has a big heart. Rudd is a proud supporter of the Stuttering Association for the Young (SAY), which is a nonprofit group that supports young people who struggle with stuttering. A 2012 article in Vanity Fair magazine explains that Rudd began supporting the cause after portraying a character in a play who struggled with stuttering.
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.
