Older members of the audience will fondly remember the late Alan Thicke as a great actor. He leaves a somewhat dubious legacy behind in his son, entertainer and singer, Robin Thicke, who has been plagued by some scandal since making it big with his hit single, Blurred Lines. First, the sentiment of the lyrics is questionable. Second, his raunchy VMAs performance of the song with Miley Cyrus drew negative attention. And third, his marriage broke down shortly after.
Thicke was married to actress Paula Patton for nine years, but they were together for about 21 years, having started dating at the age of 16. The pair have a son together, Julian Thicke, who is eight years old. Thicke now has a second child, a daughter born in 2018, with his girlfriend, model April Love Geary.
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.
