What happens when you're one half of the biggest band in the world, and then when that band ends, you form another huge band and go on to sell millions more records, including a 'James Bond' theme tune? And then, when all that's said and done, you continue to write and release records for another fifty years? You become a billionaire, and one of the most successful and beloved performers in all of music history.
Whether it was in the Beatles, or Wings, or just on his own, Sir Paul McCartney has entertained all of us for many years. He's written some of the best-known songs of all time, and it's impossible to imagine what popular music would even look like today had he and John Lennon never met. McCartney is a committed vegetarian and a supporters of animal rights causes. He even once wrote to the Dalai Lama to tell him off after he saw him eating meat!
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.
