I hate to say it, because I love 'Lost,' but I think it may have had a negative impact on television in some ways. Many copycat shows came out following the success of 'Lost,' but very few of them captured the magic of 'Lost,' even when they were made by the same creators. The show is about a plane that lands five years in the future - meaning that they had been gone for five years while to them it only seemed like a couple of hours. Sounds intriguing, but how many of us have another five seasons of mystery in us?

With that being said, you can pass on this one. If it ends up being really good you can always binge watch the first season, which means you won't have to wait week after week for the mystery to unfold.

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.
