10. John Krasinski - Brown University

John Krasinski is another actor who had a crisis of head versus heart in their formative years. Although all the signs of his youth pointed to someone destined to succeed in the performing arts - he was in a stage performance of 'Annie' when he was still in the sixth grade - he almost gave it all up for a career in teaching. Despite meeting and working with future 'The Office' co-star B. J. Novak while still in high school and being accepted to study theater arts at Brown University, Krasinski had a crisis of confidence and went to teach English as a foreign language in Costa Rica.

Despite the beautiful location, Krasinski quickly realized that he should have stayed in acting. Returning after one semester, he picked things back up at Brown and graduated as a playwright with honors. From there he moved on to the National Theater Institute in Connecticut, and the rest is history.

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.
