You won't see Bruce Springsteen living rough on the 'Streets of Philidelphia', he could probably buy every mansion in town and still have money to spare. The 'Born in the U.S.A' singer is living pretty on the back of his many years of hit records and sold out tours.
Known to his thousands of fans simply as "The Boss", it actually took until Springsteen's third album for him to achieve mainstream chart success, but once the ball started rolling it never stopped. He's sold more than 120 million albums over the course of his career and earned $40m in the year 2017-2018 alone. Having gone beyond being a simple rock star, Springsteen is a cultural icon, and in 2017 he was awarded with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by the outgoing President Barack Obama. He's shy of giving interviews and is believed to have only given one press conference in the past 25 years.
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.
